• ... that Microsoft has developed a new open source programming language called TypeScript, a typed superset of JavaScript?

• It's a topic of wide interest, obviously notable, and the hook is informative. The article is well over the minimum size and appropriately new. Spot-checking found no problems with inappropriately copied text. But the sourcing is, I think, inadequate for DYK. Sections "Background", "Language features", "Compatibility with JavaScript", and "Supported web browsers and platforms" are entirely unsourced, and the "IDE and editor support" subsection and "Open source" sections appear to rely on primary sources associated with the subject of the article. If it can be improved, to the point where every paragraph has at least one reliable source, then I think this can make a good DYK. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:34, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

• Echoing what David Eppstein said, only it has been a full week since he said it and the comments still apply. Good-faith action needs to be taken on the article soon, and a comment here addressing the issues would be helpful as well. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:07, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

• Terribly unsourced. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:24, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
