Currently many developers are using TypeScript in there product. (Some of them are very big product). Since TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, and VAX already has JavaScript support, why not support TypeScript as well? TS is not complex at all.

Because the lack of VAX, VS2012's TypeScript editing experience is actually worse than WebStorm 6! What a joke...

We are not rushing to add support for new languages, but since TypeScript is a Microsoft language, and a superset of JavaScript I have put in a feature request to see what our developers make of this idea:

I vote for Typescript support as well. As an interim solution, it would be great if the VAX snippets worked with Typescript files. Is there a way to enable that? Most snippets insert text that I have defined, so it would be nice if you allowed the user to specify the file extensions for which a snippet set applies.

For file types / extensions that VA knows nothing about, the VA snippets in the text node are used. These won't be suggested as you type, since VA is not active in file types it does not know about, but you can trigger these snippets either by pressing the "Insert VA Snippet" toolbar button, or by binding a keyboard shortcut to the command VAssistX.VaSnippetInsert

We would need to have proper file support, including listboxes as you type, to list these snippets as you type.
