Following last month's release of version 4.0 of Microsoft's superset of JavaScript, TypeScript, VS Code now ships with TypeScript 4.0.2.

Improved TypeScript doesn’t only improve your code, it also improves JavaScript support in the Visual Studio family of IDEs, with new tools for refactoring your code in both languages.

With 14 million users, Microsoft's open source cross-platform code editor Visual Studio Code is one of its key tools for keeping developers engaged with its future in the cloud.
