https://thenewstack.io/typescript-and-the-power-of-a-statically-typed-language/ is a programming language heavily built on top of JavaScript. TypeScript is a strongly typed, object-oriented, compiled programming language that builds on JavaScript. It is a superset of the JavaScript language, designed to give you better tooling at any scale.

As a strongly typed programming language that builds on JavaScript, TypeScript’s mission is to step in and fill these gaps to enable application-scale development better.

Thus, by adding type support to JavaScript, TypeScript can effectively mitigate type errors during compilation to JavaScript.
