VJET/VJET JS vs typescriptlang

Today (10/1/2012) typescript was released and I wanted to a simple class comparison with VJET's type construction library vjo.js. You can get the benefits of classical inheritance without a new keyword so it runs right in the browser without compiling.

VJET js type construction library for building javascript types without a compile step. Uses a lightweight bootstrap js file to support runtime type construction

type script from [http://www.typescriptlang.org/]

vjet vjo.js

class Greeter {
	greeting: string;
	constructor (message: string) {
		this.greeting = message;
	}
	greet() {
	    return "Hello, " + this.greeting;
	}
}
 
var greeter = new Greeter("world");
var button = document.createElement('button')
button.innerText = "Say Hello"
button.onclick = function() {
	alert(greeter.greet())
}
document.body.appendChild(button)

vjo.ctype("Greeter").protos({
    greeting:null, //< public String
    constructs:function(message){ //< public constructs(String message)
       this.greeting = message;
    },
   greet:function(){ //< public String fn()
       return "Hello, " + this.greeting;
   }
})
.endType()
 
 
var greeter = new Greeter("world");
var button = document.createElement('button')
button.innerText = "Say Hello"
button.onclick = function() {
 alert(greeter.greet())
}
document.body.appendChild(button)

vjet vjo.js

class Animal {
    constructor(public name) { }
    move(meters) {
        alert(this.name + " moved " + meters + "m.");
    }
}
 
class Snake extends Animal {

var sam = new Snake("Sammy the Python")
var tom: Animal = new Horse("Tommy the Palomino")
 
sam.move()

	},
	//> public void fn(Number)
	 move:function(meters) {
	        alert(this.name + " moved " + meters + "m.");
	 }
}).endType()
 
vjo.ctype('Snake').inherits("Animal")
.protos({
	//> public constructs(String name)
	constructs:function(name){ this.base(name)},
	move:function() {
            alert("Slithering...");
            this.base.move(5);
    }

        constructs:function(name){ this.base(name)},

TODO: 1. ts modules -> vjo.js 2. ts interfaces -> vjo.itype 3. ts functions -> js + vjetdoc

To try this out get VJET vjo from the [downloads page] and add to any .html page. No compiler needed.
