How do you feel about TypeScript? - Lemmygrad

Specifically, do you worry that Microsoft is going to eventually do the Microsoft thing and horribly fuck it up for everyone? I’ve really grown to appreciate the language itself, but I’m wary of it getting too ingrained at work only to have the rug pulled out from under us when it’s become hard to back out.

It’s open source. Anything is better than JS.

Chromium, Firefox, NodeJS, Deno, and Bun are all open source. I mean, sure the official name is ECMAScript not JavaScript, but unless you’re talking about a technicality I’m not sure what your point is.

I think the point is that since it’s open source, there’s not as much worry of Microsoft ruining a good thing.

Ah thank you, that makes more sense.
