Microsoft Previews New Programming Language

Microsoft is looking at TypeScript, a new JavaScript-like programming language that is translated into JavaScript so that its apps can be run in any browser. The source code is licensed under Apache 2.0. TypeScript has a syntax that is similar to JavaScript with additional features such as static typing. TypeScript will work with existing frameworks and libraries. Any JavaScript can be plugged into TypeScript and should work without any issues.

My Kred on the Web

Kred is composed of two scores: Influence and Outreach. We selected these because they reflect Trust and Generosity, the foundations of strong relationships.

Influence is the ability to inspire action. We measure this through by assessing how many retweets, replies, mentions and new follows a person receives. It is scored on a 1,000 point scale.

Outreach reflects your generosity in engaging with others and helping them spread their message. We measure this through your retweets, replies and mentions of others. Because we believe generosity is infinite, your Outreach score is cumulative and will always increase. It is scored in Outreach Levels. The current maximum is 11, and this will increase over time.
