TypeScript == Maintainable and "Best Practice"...
If you are writing JavaScript but not using something like Coffee Script, TypeScript or Script# then you are missing out on hours of productivity and a far more pleasant js coding experience.

Hello tumblr.
tumblr might just be the middle ground I’ve been looking for… more than Twitter, less than a blog. This is one of the first times in my life where I feel behind in technology. I’m both happy and sad at the same time.
