I have a quick question about javascript and javascript engines. I know that if I go to an html page, that page gets downloaded by the browser onto my local computer and read by the browser.

Et cetera. JavaScript’s embrace of this very common and practical approach means that many people can switch gears pretty easily between C, C++, Java, JavaScript, Swift, Go, and many others.

TypeScript 2.3, the latest version of Microsoft’s typed superset of JavaScript, has moved to a release candidate stage. For standards backing, version 2.3 supports async generators and iterators.
