Why is TypeScript preferred over CoffeeScript for modern development?

The question is about Typescript

Answer:

Modern development leans more towards TypeScript than CoffeeScript because of the static typing and a bunch of advanced type-checking features that enable to improve code quality, maintainability, and scalability for large applications. While CoffeeScript provides syntax simplification for JavaScript, TypeScript extends JavaScript with type safety, interfaces, and compatibility with ES6+ features. TypeScript has also seen extreme support from Microsoft, frequent updates, and great IDE integration with particular emphasis on Visual Studio Code, offering real-time feedback and strong tooling. With a large community, better support for modern JavaScript frameworks, and seamless integration into existing JavaScript projects, TypeScript has largely replaced CoffeeScript as the first choice of developers seeking structure and reliability in their code.
