 Hi Gustav --

Here is more info in support of TypeScript:

"Microsoft and Google are now buddies. DART is getting depreciated, TypeScript is used for Angular 2.0..."

The well-known arguments - which he brightly demonstrated the value of - are classes, strong typing, and - because of the strong typing - IntelliSense. Even then it compiles to pure non-expanded Javascript. It is so clever:
