So there is apparently a problem with languages such as JavaScript and the solution is to use languages such as TypeScript.

Wut?

Well, yes. TypeScript mitigates one big problem with JavaScript (type safety). That’s why it exists. It’s a dumb idea to choose vanilla JS over TS if you’re starting a new project today, IMO.

Some people disagree with it being a no brainer.

TypeScript is 'not worth it' for developing libraries, says Svelte author, as team switches to JavaScript and JSDoc • DEVCLASS

That’s only article-worthy because it is a rare occurrence and an increasingly controversial opinion. And even that maintainer didn’t abandon TS completely—he said that would be “daft”—he just moved to types via JSDoc which is run through the TS compiler, as well as to .d.ts files.

Congratulations, you read the headline.

But “just” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here. It is literally why he moved.

Congratulations, you read the headline.

Learn how to have a conversation

You didn’t even bother to argue my point. You repeated the headline of the article that I send you. Are you sure that I need to learn that?

I would have given you a proper response if your response would have been. Calling something “controversial” is literally saying that there are conflicting opinions on the matter, which means it is NOT no brainer.

Your point was “some people don’t think it’s a no-brainer,” which I addressed, and then you whipped out that line. I’ve been around long enough to know what that means: that your replies would be inflammatory garbage from then on. Learn how to interact with people online in a civil way and maybe you’ll actually be able to maintain a conversation long enough for it to be constructive
I just explained to you how your own response confirms my point but be upset over someone making fun of you for stating the headline of their reference as some interesting insight.
