I’ve come from many years of Java experience to the world of Node/JS.
You can learn JS without TS, but not TS without JS.
TS is just a tightened up JS really.
Yes, and I would like to learn the tightened up version rightaway ;-) When I want to learn e.g. about functions, I want to have a chapter "Fundamentals of functions" or something (and probably another chapter for advanced stuff about functions, edge cases etc.). Right now it seems like I would have to first read about functions in a JS book without knowing how they will be used best in TS). And then I would take another book and read about the modifications that TS makes to them.
I get that in order to "fully understand" TS I need to "fully understand" JS. But in the beginning I would like something that explains the core concepts of TS (which of course may and often will include JS concepts).
