Removed section

I've removed the follow section becuase I don't think it really fits in this article. I'm leaving it here until a better location is found. Stewart Adcock (talk) 20:07, 7 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

=== Other languages that compile to JavaScript === * [[CoffeeScript]] * [[Dart (programming language)|Dart]], another optionally typed programming language * [[Haxe]] * [[ClojureScript]] * [[Google Web Toolkit]] (Java) * For more: [https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/List-of-languages-that-compile-to-JS list of languages that compile to JS]

Type erasure is a feature?

Type erasure is generally not considered a "feature". While it might be the right trade-off for a programming language, it is normally considered a weakness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.209.193.6 (talk) 15:08, 28 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely agree with this. Referring to Type Erasure as a feature is a stretch to say the least.

It is fundamentally necessary for ECMAScript compatibility but that doesn't make it desirable. Reification is actually one of the most requested features, and while it is broadly contrary to the language's goals, it is also arguably present in a minimal extent by way of decorator metadata emit (this doesn't emit types it emits values that have the same name as types).

ECMAScript article?

The link to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECMAScript#ECMAScript_Harmony_.286th_Edition.29 goes nowhere specific to TypeScript.

Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles

Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

Collaboration...

If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

Where to list JavaScript articles

We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

User scripts

The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!

If you have need for a user script that does not yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention

If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.

Rating JavaScript articles

At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.

Thank you. The Transhumanist 01:14, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Remove "class-based object-oriented programming" from intro

The introduction states that TypeScript adds "class-based object-oriented programming". This is a common misconception as TypeScript's support for classes is, with the exception of a few features such as property shorthand, simply a function of its general downlevel transpilation of ECMAScript 2015 features.

This misconception is extremely prevalent among new users of the language and contributes to a conflation of types and classes.

It would be beneficial to revise this statement. Aluan Haddad (talk) 00:51, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
