…async/await with ECMA6 + promises. TypeScript 2.0 will bring support for it with ECMA 3 and ECMA 5. https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Roadmap https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/1664

comment by yareally · 2015-10-20 · in Goodbye CoffeeScript, Hello TypeScript

I hope this new feature https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Typings-for-npm... means that little by little the type definitions will move to the projects themselves rather than having all of them together in a single repo.

comment by ane · 2015-09-13 · in TypeScript and JSX

TypeScript does the same thing - its compiler is written in TypeScript. See https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/tree/master/src/comp... . But yeah, darned cool, and very meta.

Wait.. Are you talking about what's described here: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/2242 I just did a small typescript prototype and used the import syntax there. It might have been your typescript version as 1.5 recently…

comment by Glide · 2015-08-05 · in TypeScript vs. Haxe

The compiler api has gotten a lot better: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Using-the-Compi... If you just want string->string compilation, there's typestring, which wraps the api: https://www.npmjs.com/package/typestring

…Typescript is catching up with all ES6 features, so you can use destructors (discussed [here]( https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/240) ) in Typescript v1.5--beta

comment by SanderMak · 2015-05-08 · in Quinn – A web framework designed for things to come

Check the roadmap: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Roadmap It's true that there's not too many ES6 features implemented yet, but the 1.5 release will bring a lot of new ES6 features, and it's right around the corner.

that's not really the actual timeline. here is the pull request for adding union types. https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/pull/824 I believe all 3 teams, TypeScript, Flow, and AtScript, are working together for few things as is.

Here is some interesting discussion on that aspect of the typesystem: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14 It also discusses Flow from 2 months ago (from a now removed video)

comment by inglor · 2014-11-18 · in Facebook Launches Flow, Static Type Checker for JavaScript

Yep, here's some related discussion: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/185 tl;dr: they want to support both of those features, the question is what syntax to use and how to introduce those features into the existing ecosystem.
