TypeScript vs JavaScript: What’s Changed in 2024? 🔍

Hey Devs! 👋

Curious about how TypeScript stacks up against JavaScript this year?

In my latest video, I explore the key differences between these two popular languages in 2024, breaking down their basics, benefits, and use cases.

JavaScript, with its platform independence and massive community, has been a dominant force in the programming world for years. But TypeScript, often seen as JavaScript’s superset, brings powerful features like static typing and better code maintainability. So, which one should you be using?

In the video, we also dive into:

  • TypeScript vs JavaScript performance.
  • When to use each language—from small web apps to large-scale enterprise projects.
  • How TypeScript can help you avoid common JavaScript pitfalls.

Check out the full explanation, and let me know in the comments: What are you using in your latest projects? 👀
