I've just started my journey in programming and I'm feeling pretty comfortable with HTML and CSS. Now, I'm diving into JavaScript, but I recently got offered an internship that requires using TypeScript. I'm curious about how difficult it might be for me to pause my JavaScript learning and focus on TypeScript instead. I understand that TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether it's a good idea to shift gears since the internship starts in a couple of weeks.

TypeScript is actually a superset of JavaScript, which means any valid JavaScript code is also valid TypeScript. The main difference is that TypeScript enforces typing, which helps with error handling and offers better integration with IDEs. If you're familiar with the basics of JavaScript, transitioning to TypeScript shouldn't be too difficult!
Yes, that's what I meant! With limited JavaScript knowledge, do you think I can still effectively learn TypeScript?
