AtScript is a language created to help developers read JavaScript. AtScript was announced in late October 2014 and similar to Microsoft's TypeScript, Google has created AtScript to improve JavaScript by providing a much easier way to manage it. AtScript is designed to work alongside TypeScript. AtScript is influenced by TypeScript but TypeScript lacks runtime introspection and metadata annotations. <ref> Anderson, Tim. "Improving JavaScript: Google throws AtScript into the mix." Theregister 2014. </ref> Enhancements include: Type annotations, Field annotations, Metadata annotations and Type Introspection with annotation support. SDTimes has designated AtScript as Google's new superset JavaScript runtime. <ref> Marvin, Rob. "AtScript, Google's new superset JavaScript runtime". SDTimes, 2014.</ref>
