As someone not deeply immersed in the #JavaScript community but has used TypeScript a bit, why do people hate #TypeScript?
I love it. Very easy to understand what I’m working with. He’ll, been using Python’s mypy and dataclasses for ages because of how useful type checking is.
@tmclaugh I feel like the unspoken reason for the hate is that type-checking enforces a level of accountability that developers aren’t comfortable with.
When you’re just trying to prototype an idea (depending on who you talk to), type checking can slow you down. But I like the accountability even in the prototyping stage.
