How long have you been working with TypeScript and what is TypeScript generally used for in projects?

I have been working with TypeScript for about 3 years. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing and modern language features.

Main reasons for using TypeScript in projects:

• Early error detection during compilation thanks to types.
• Improved IDE support: autocompletion, refactoring, code navigation.
• Ability to use modern JavaScript standards and new language features.
• Increased readability and maintainability of code, especially in large teams.

Example of using TypeScript:

interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
}

function greet(user: User): string {
  return `Hello, ${user.name}!`;
}

const user = { id: 1, name: 'Ivan' };
console.log(greet(user));

Here, types help avoid errors, for example, if an object without the name field is passed, the compiler will throw an error.
