Why are Devs Turning to TypeScript for AI Development? [Video]

Web application developers, who want to use LLMs, naturally turn to TypeScript.

TypeScript, as a programming language, is a great fit when it comes to creating fast, user-friendly AI applications. Its asynchronous programming features let multiple tasks run concurrently, which is key when dealing with potentially slow AI model calls. This means that the application can stay responsive even if AI is working in the background.

As a result, there’s been a lot of discussion around whether TypeScript will replace JavaScript for AI development.

Developers using TypeScript instead of just JavaScript will see more benefits from using AI. The synergy between using AI to generate code and types, with the type system ensuring your code compiles and runs enhances productivity like crazy
