Today we’re happy to announce the availability of the release candidate (RC) of TypeScript 3.1. Our intent with the RC is to gather any and all feedback so that we can ensure our final release is as pleasant as possible.

Why We Chose Typescript?
requirements:
- Must have types.
- Must have good tooling already.
- Powers major production apps.
- Our devs should be able to onboard fairly quickly.
- Should work on both the client and the server.
- Good library support.

TypeScript uses the typeof keyword for capturing anonymous types. Despite the same name, it is very different from JavaScript's typeof operator — in fact, the two can only appear in mutually exlusive places. 

TypeScript has some "interesting" limitations when it comes to overloading functions. But it also offers you some options when you need more flexibility in declaring functions, including both optional parameters and infinite parameter lists.

These include automating tasks, open-sourcing our code, adding package manager support, using a build server to automatically build (and test) our software, supporting TypeScript and adding our library to a CDN.
