Microsoft announced the first RC release of TypeScript, a simplified version of the JavaScript language, used by countless of projects on the Web, including the famous AngularJS framework.
The main feature included in TypeScript 2.x is tagged unions, which is the ability to join two different data structures. Imagine it like trying to add a circle to a square, a metaphor Microsoft used to explain tagged unions on its blog.
Languages that support tagged unions include C++, Scala, Microsoft's F#, Mozilla's Rust and Apple's Swift. The reason to support tagged unions is to improve type safety and cut down the number of type errors that can often bog down developers.
