I'm new to the typescript world and would like to find out

since typescript compiler tsc.cmd already handle all the static analysis/check job which Typescript features , so why do we also need another TSlint? Are part of their function overlapping or any compelling reason? thanks.

Linting tools like TSLint allow developers to discover problems with their code without executing it.

The built in compiler of Typescript will discover problems only when you transpile(compile) the code.

TSLint instead will alert you while you're typing, which is much faster as you do not have to wait until the Typescript compiler reaches the point in code where the error is located.
