Agency vs TypeScript

Because Agency compiles to TypeScript, it has many similarities, but some things are different.

There are some syntactical differences. For example, Agency does not have ternary operators and it only has two types of loop: a while loop and an iterative for loop. Besides that, though, there are some bigger differences. Agency adds a lot of features to TypeScript, and that's the focus of the Agency guide. But here are some TypeScript features that it does not have.

• No destructuring syntax
• Agency's type system is not as powerful as the TypeScript type system. In particular, it doesn't have generics right now
• No classes
• Agency has first-class functions, but it does not have lambdas. Instead, it has blocks.
