TypeScript Developers Twice as Likely to Regularly Use Angular as a JavaScript Framework
TypeScript-focused developers are twice as likely to regularly use Angular as other developers. Our analysis of JetBrains’ most recent 2021 developer survey found that 42% of developers that name TypeScript as one of their primary languages have used Angular in the last year. While that’s not as much as React (56%), it is more than Vue.js (28%). The reason is pretty simple. Angular is written in TypeScript. So is Hydrogen, which was released last November.

The Month of TypeScript

This month, we will be running a series a series of posts and podcasts about TypeScript. We understand there is a lot reader interest in this topic. TypeScript was actually created by Microsoft, and was based on JavaScript. Clearly, JavaScript is becoming the de facto language for creating web applications. But as these applications grow in size, they become harder to debug. TypeScript is JavaScript with strong typing, which allows for better debugging. Because of this quality, TypeScript is now the fourth most popular language on GitHub.

This week, The New Stack sponsor Synopsis offered a post on why TypeScript is good for security. “Adding TypeScript to your development process can increase the trust you’re building into your software by enforcing more secure coding earlier in the process,” wrote Synopsys Senior Technology Writer Charlotte Freeman.
