Agreed on all points. I would only follow up with one question:

Is C# 4.0 a separate language from C# 3.0??

And yeah, I know that this comment (and this post) is insanely semantic. But I've never seen anyone list C# 4.0 and C# 3.0 as separate languages. But the common convention seems to be that TypeScript is commonly referred to as a separate language.

Is it somehow "bad" or "harmful" that TS is usually referred to as a standalone language?? No. But these are just the kinda nerdy things that occasionally keep me up at night.

Maybe I just need to fix myself a stronger cocktail...
