Lets start with this one!

**Title:** An Empirical Investigation of the Effects of Type Systems and Code Completion on API Usability  
using TypeScript and JavaScript in MS Visual Studio

**Authors:** Lars Fischer, Stefan Hanenberg

**Paper:** [https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5VfKG1fVepaTG41MlNTdWRQSDg/view](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5VfKG1fVepaTG41MlNTdWRQSDg/view)

**One line summary:** The paper looks at TypeScript and JavaScript in relation to code completion tooling. The outcome of the paper is that typing has a much bigger impact than code completion on API usability.

I will flesh this out a bit more with a full summary of highlights when I have some more time.
