Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional? - Feddit.dk
I was talking to my manager the other day, discussing the languages we are using
at $dayjob. He kind of offhandedly said that he thinks TypeScript is a temporary
fad and soon everything will go back to using JavaScript. He doesn’t like that
it’s made by Microsoft either. I’m not a frontend developer so I don’t really
know, but my general impression is that everything is moving more and more
towards TypeScript, not away from it. But maybe I’m wrong? Does anyone who
actually works with TypeScript have any impression about this?
As long as JavaScript is being used, TypeScript will be used. It makes writing JavaScript tolerable.
Imo they’ll add typing to vanilla js, which will kill ts.
the can’t add proper typing without adding a compiler. Whatever they add will be closer to puthon’s type hints. I’ve had to write primary in python lately and type hints help very very slightly, and tools like pyright catch so many false errors due to lack of hints in libraries that we’re forced to add ignore statements on too many lines. I genuinely don’t understand how there can be so many languages and all of them be painful to use
I have very minimal pain in Go
I’ve heard good things about it, looking forward to learning it (hopefully soon)
