 “Cribl, our customers, and investors recognize there’s a better way — to create a unified data pipeline, with the same agents across security and operations, that allows enterprises to maximize the value of their existing investments.

New TypeScript website

Microsoft announced a new iteration of the TypeScript website that has been switched on for the TypeScript homepage. 

The goals of the homepage are to introduce TypeScript and then explain the value proposition of using the language, according to Microsoft. 

Some of the highlights on the new homepage include reducing the amount of the text on the page, limiting the colour palette to the blue from the TypeScript logo, and creating a mid-way jumping off point.
