What is Typescript?

Recently Typescript has been increasing in popularity and do you know why, It is javascript in general but adds static to it, making it so much easier to understand. Not only that but statistically up to 15% of javascript bugs can be detected by Typescript. It is easy to grasp, and you don't need to know a lot to start learning it, you can learn on the go. Since it is used in Javascript, it could be both used in front end and backend. Since it's so close to javascript why not grasp it, since it is more reliable and explicit. The only downside is for typescript is that it wouldn't be that much help in small projects, especially since it takes time to set it up.
