Happy Programmers' Day to everyone whose job is to move bytes around or just does it for fun. Interestingly the Wikipedia article says Programmer's day is observed in Bulgaria. I wonder if this is official.

    As a devoted follower of Anders (Hallowed be His name) I have been waiting to try TypeScript for some time. Since we could not agree to use it as the frontend language for our current application I had to try it on my own. I decided to port a small project for drawing Bézier curves I had done in Silverlight a few years ago. It seemed a good candidate since it was short (several hours of work), was a real task (if drawing Bézier curves is a real task) and provided the opportunity to explore the Canvas API, something I had been intending to do for some time.
