Discussion on: Is TypeScript Really... A Language??

I don't disagree, but I do know that my knowledge of Programming languages has also taken on my own style in using them. It's similar to an accent in a spoken language. I don't feel that any one accent is better than any other; however; accent or not, if there's a violation in what is written or spoken; then that, and only that is of concern. It's exactly why I like Typescript because it makes me more cognizant of making things safer. The last thing I want to do (again) is to release a bug to production because of some really stupid accidental thing I did. I like Typescript coupled with Unit Tests because it builds confidence. I also love C# for Back-end work because it's safe.
