The following syntaxes in TS are restricted in ArkTS:
- Static typing is enforced. Static typing is one of the most important features of ArkTS. If the program is statically typed, i.e. all types are known at the compile time, it’s much easier to understand which data structures are used in the code. At the same time, since all types are known before the program actually runs, code correctness can be verified by the compiler, which eliminates many runtime type checks and improves the performance.

- Changing object layout in runtime is prohibited. To achieve maximum performance benefits, ArkTS requires that layout of objects does not change during program execution.
- Semantics of operators is restricted. To achieve better performance and encourage developers to write cleaner code, ArkTS restricts the semantics of operators. Such as, the binary `+` operator supports only for strings and numbers but not for objects.

-structural typing is not supported. Support for structural typing is a major feature which needs lots of consideration and careful implementation in language specification, compiler and runtime. Currently, ArkTS does not supports structural typing. The team will be ready to reconsider based on real-world scenarios and feedback.

The added features offered by ArkTS for the ArkUI framework include the following:
-[Basic syntax](arkts-basic-syntax-overview.md): ArkTS defines declarative UI description, custom components, and dynamic extension of UI elements. All these, together with built-in components, event methods, and attribute methods in ArkUI, jointly underpin UI development.
