-It's been on the TODO list for a while, and it's now happening. TypeScript with Svelte is now a first class citizen of the ecosystem.
+It's been by far the most requested feature for a while, and it's finally here: Svelte officially supports TypeScript.
-We think it'll help you handle much larger Svelte code bases regardless of whether you use TypeScript or JavaScript.
+We think it'll give you a much nicer development experience — one that also scales beautifully to larger Svelte code bases — regardless of whether you use TypeScript or JavaScript.

+## Try it now
+
+You can start a new Svelte TypeScript project using the [normal template](https://github.com/sveltejs/template) and by running `node scripts/setupTypeScript.js` before you do anything else:
+
+```bash
+npx degit sveltejs/template svelte-typescript-app
+cd svelte-typescript-app
+node scripts/setupTypeScript.js
+```

+If you're a VS Code user, make sure you're using the (new) [official extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=svelte.svelte-vscode), which replaces the popular extension by James Birtles.
+Later in this blog post, we'll detail the individual steps involved in using TypeScript in an existing Svelte project.

## What does it mean to support TypeScript in Svelte?
TypeScript support in Svelte has been possible for a long time, but you had to mix a lot of disparate tools together and each project ran independently. Today, nearly all of these tools live under the Svelte organization and are maintained by a set of people who take responsibility over the whole pipeline and have common goals.
-A week before COVID was declared a pandemic, [I pitched a consolidation](https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/4518) of the best Svelte tools and ideas from similar dev-ecosystems and provided a set of steps to get TypeScript support first class. Since then, many people have pitched in and wrote the code to get us there.
