At http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=34790, Microsoft provide a free download of TypeScript for Visual Studio 2012. The documentation site is at http://www.typescriptlang.org/

It is described as
  • TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript development.
  • TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.
  • Any browser. Any host. Any OS. Open Source.
  • TypeScript starts from the syntax and semantics that millions of JavaScript developers know today.
  • TypeScript compiles to clean, simple JavaScript code which runs on any browser, in Node.js, or in any other ES3-compatible environment.
  • With TypeScript, you can use existing JavaScript code, incorporate popular JavaScript libraries, and be called from other JavaScript code.
  • These features are available at development time for high-confidence application development, but are compiled into simple JavaScript.

If you have written JavaScript, you will know why I welcome the release of version 0.9 of TypeScript as TypeScript should be a lot less frustrating to write. I suggest you go to https://typescript.codeplex.com/ and follow this very promising project.
