The following syntaxes in TS are restricted in ArkTS: 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. - Static typing is enforced.
