NewType, a new and easy programming language

In many programming languages (including Scratch, though it's not as apparent), values have different types, such as strings or numbers. However, certain operations can only be done on certain types. For example,

value.startsWith('happy')

The above JavaScript code tests whether a given string `value` starts with “happy.” However, it only works if `value` is a string. If `value` is a number, for example, JavaScript will get angry because undefined is not a function or something.

TypeScript allows you to make sure you do not accidentally set `value` to anything but a string. For example, we could make the above snippet into a function in TypeScript:

function startsHappily (value: string): boolean {
  return value.startsWith('happy')
}

`value: string` indicates that `value` must be a string, and `: boolean` means that `startsHappily` returns a boolean (true or false, like the predicates in Scratch), so you can safely use any boolean-specific operations on its return value.

TypeScript can give you more confidence in knowing that your code won't suddenly break due to a little uncaught TypeError. JavaScript is very quirky, which means TypeScript can't protect you from everything, but in most cases it's reassuring enough

- Sheep_maker This is a kumquat-free signature. :P
This is my signature. It appears below all my posts. Discuss it on my profile, not the forums. Here's how to make your own.
.postsignature { overflow: auto; } .scratchblocks { overflow-x: auto; overflow-y: hidden; }

Answer this
it means that there are different types of TS like a graphical or a console type
That would be perfect for NT!

con: it is hard let’s stick to JS cuz I know it.
We just have to use webGL, and maybe three.js

three.js is for 3d things right? and also i'm using python for the compiler or intrepeter because well…..

We can add 3D to our language, right?

No! What do you think i am, a mathematician?
But i suppose we could make a package?
