Development environment and resources

Unifier is currently being developed in TypeScript. TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that is compiled down to the ECMAScript 5 standard. TypeScript enables us to build more productively with existing tools through type inference, annotation, and support for ECMAScript 2015 and future ECMAScript proposals.

If you plan to develop any Unifier front-end code, you will need to have the TypeScript command-line compiler installed.

Specific instructions, as well as support packages for popular IDE, are available on the TypeScript website.
