Writing server-side JavaScript can be challenging as a codebase grows due to the nature of the JavaScript language dynamic and weak typed.ĭevelopers coming to JavaScript from other languages often complain about its lack of strong static typing, but this is where TypeScript comes into the picture, to bridge this gap.
