Why use TypeScript instead of Flow for static type checking?
The question is about Typescript
Reasons TypeScript is generally outshining Flow regarding static type checking are good community support, extensive tooling, and hassle-free integrations with popular JavaScript frameworks such as React, Angular, and Node.js. Unlike Flow, which focuses mostly on type checking, TypeScript is a fully grown language with extensive features such as interfaces, enums, and advanced type manipulation, providing more structure for application development. TypeScript continues to benefit from heavy investment from Microsoft, with regular updates and proactive development, while its IDE support is phenomenally strong in the likes of Visual Studio Code. The third-party ecosystem has grown significantly for TypeScript as well, thus leading to generally more available resources, more third-party libraries that have built-in type definitions, and wider usage, making it more viable for long-term, large projects.
