Isn’t Typescript compiled into JavaScript?

Technically transpiled. Compiling results in something binary.

No a compiler just translates from one language into another. Transpilers are a type of compiler.

Typescript is transpiled into JavaScript. It's not a whole new language just additions to JavaScript.

A transpiler is a compiler. And it doesn’t have to convert from one language to another to be considered a compiler.
