This is the 3rd frontpage article about TypeScript in 3 days. It certainly seems to be getting a lot of 'air time' amongst developers.
I can't help but see this as a good thing for the languages adoption. Languages live and die based on the community that arise around them. So it bodes well for typescripts future to see so much discussion and interest around it.
This is proof that any sentiments toward / away from a company are not based on "trends" but on actions, if you make good products / tools, open source them, listen to the community / market and not try to change it, then people will follow. Someone is making some great decisions there, and if I was a Google decision maker, I would have gave him/her a job offer very quickly. Microsoft is trendy again, using git, sponsors jQuery, develops VIM emacs and sublime text support? The actually caused me to download and use Visual Studio, 7 years after I left it for Eclipse? Comeback of the year for me.
