* When in a multi-line comment, we would have liked to use the start of the comment as a reference point for the indentation inside the comment, but determining the number of columns shifted for the comment start woudl require determining the length w/r/t graphemes, which we do not currently implement. We would like to avoid taking on a runtime dependency on a grapheme-parsing library. Instead, we look at the indentation level on the previoud line or start of the comment as a reference point, and correct shift for lines starting with an asterisk.
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types, classes, and modules to JavaScript. TypeScript supports tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.
Installing

Documentation
Building
In order to build the TypeScript compiler, ensure that you have Git and Node.js installed.
Clone a copy of the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript.git
Change to the TypeScript directory:
cd TypeScript
Install Gulp tools and dev dependencies:
npm install -g gulp
npm install
Use one of the following to build and test:
gulp local # Build the compiler into built/local
gulp clean # Delete the built compiler
gulp LKG # Replace the last known good with the built one.
# Bootstrapping step to be executed when the built compiler reaches a stable state.
gulp tests # Build the test infrastructure using the built compiler.
gulp runtests # Run tests using the built compiler and test infrastructure.
# You can override the host or specify a test for this command.
# Use host=<hostName> or tests=<testPath>.
gulp runtests-browser # Runs the tests using the built run.js file. Syntax is gulp runtests. Optional
parameters 'host=', 'tests=[regex], reporter=[list|spec|json|<more>]'.
gulp baseline-accept # This replaces the baseline test results with the results obtained from gulp runtests.
gulp lint # Runs tslint on the TypeScript source.
gulp help # List the above commands.
Usage
node built/local/tsc.js hello.ts
