TypeScript to replace AtScript for Angular Development, Angular Team Announces at ng-conf 2015

TypeScript is the New AtScript

This morning in the keynote address at the ng-conf, Brad Green, the AngularJS Framework Manager at Google, announced that TypeScript with it's latest release encompassing ES6 and annotations, will be the language that AngularJS is developed in. Since the TypeScript team at Microsoft has been working with the AtScript team at Google to collaborate on the efforts of these two languages, the TypeScript effort has been directed at closing the gaps between the two languages. Apparently that gap has been completely closed as the Angular Team leadership has announced that the two have basically merged, and there is now one language, TypeScript. Of the two open source languages, TypeScript was the more mature and had superior IDE support. TypeScript is due to release version 1.5, which is set to implement remaining ECMAScript 6 features and annotations. According to the TypeScript team's MSDN blog a beta version of TypeScript 1.5 will be released in the "coming weeks" with support for additional development environments and styles.
