AtScript is a JavaScript based scripting language extending Microsoft's Typescript. AtScript is created by Google, it was announced in late October 2014 at the ng-europe conference.

AtScript was created by Google's AngularJS team as the language of the upcoming AngularJS 2.0 web development framework.[1]

The public language specification is currently a draft.[2] It states that plain JavaScript code (ES5 or ES6) is valid AtScript code. AtScript is a superset of Microsoft's TypeScript. AtScript builds on ECMAScript 6 with types (through TypeScript), and extends it by annotations (type annotations, field annotations, metadata annotations) and type introspection. To sum up, AtStcipt is ECMAScript 6 with types, annotations and introspection.[3]

The name “AtScript” comes from the @ (“at”) symbol used for annotations in many languages (Dart, Java) and the “script” word (as in JavaScript, TypeScript, CoffeeScript).
