In this video Anders Hejlsberg spends some time discussing TypeScript. He starts with the reasons behind creating TypeScript (the so called elevator speech) and then moves on to some of the features coming in the next release. He mentions a number of features but spends the time discussing the null (and corresponding undefined) types and how TypeScript 2 makes handling them much easier.

From today most of the Iranian developers who work on free/open-source projects get mail about suspending their accounts because of the U.S sanction over Iran , also they want a non-iranian passport to unlock accounts which means if your Iranian who works for a tech company remotely or using their service for developing free software are banned too!
