Yeah I noticed when looking at the TypeScript compiler itself that the names are ridiculously long. Probably because they edit them in an IDE like VS Code.

Does TypeScript minify your code or is that a separate step?

Separate. The common thing is to use uglifyjs for that.

Pretty much all editors worth talking about support TypeScript's language server. So even if you're using vim or whatever, you get the full featured editing experience (or at least, most of it).

That includes proper auto complete.
