162 - Why I'm learning TypeScript

Changlog  The deployment phase of https://howtocodewell.net staging site is going very well. I now have Kubernetes cluster is running via Terraform Why am I leaning TypeScript?  I know many languages, some more than others.  PHP is my goto and Python is the next biggest language I know.  Of course I know JavaScript and other languages such as Java and Perl but I rarely use those.   In my opinion Typescript is what JavaScript should-of been to begin with.   - I’ve noticed more demand for Typescript jobs than JavaScript jobs.  - I’ve noticed no demand of Flow  - Typescript works well with Node so its kinda backend friendly.  I wouldn’t consider using JavaScript on the backend without Type safety  - Typescript works well with React Native so mobile apps can be built for both Android and IOS  - Theres a bigger demand to convert Javascript apps to Typescript apps   Will there every be any Typescript tutorials  Yes, but not for a while.
