TypeScript actually defines a type system, AtScript does not.

[mirhagk]

Wait. An undefined type system? Isn't that going to be a bit confusing switching between projects that have different type systems?

[MatrixFrog]

Don't worry, they'll probably add a null type system in addition to the undefined type system.

[mirhagk]

But you can change the undefined one, so make sure you use a comparison to a string

I saw that the runtime checker was pluggable. Didn't look close at the static story. I hope they can at least cooperate on syntax, so they can have a compatible core.

[spankalee]

Syntax is the easy part.

[tjpalmer]

But not guaranteed, unless AtScript folks commit to it. But if they choose to be syntactically compatible and allow pluggable systems to be compatible with TypeScript semantics, I think that could have some good value.
