In namespaces, we'd have access to a variable named "ts" when debugging, because that was just the ts namespace in the current file. But when modules, that variable doesn't exist, either because we are pure modules (so no ts variable), or named something else (when bundled, for export). Tack a "ts" object onto the globals, which should make this easier. Of course, someone may eventually declare a variable in the top level scope named "ts" and break this, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types to JavaScript that support 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.
