I would never write Js without Ts again

[@AlphaFoxDelta]

Ugh, ikr

[@sedrakpc]

In my 15 years of software development, I’ve seen many JS supersets died. We’ll see, probably typescript will survive.

[@kickinit333]

Seems that inevitably, loosely typed systems give birth to some kind of type system or language. Usually after someone fubars production one too many times.

[@edwardlewis1963]

google: *type*
In computer science, the *type* is a quality of data that defines the possible values
the data may have. Depending on its type, a unit of data will be stored and operated
upon in different ways. Examples of data types include integers, booleans, and
strings.8 Feb 2020

Typescript

[@markopolo2224]

i been saying that

[@_kolvin]

True

[@Sahil-cb6im]

typescript ❤

[@OpenJavaScript]

TS is a great development,. But under the hood...

[@extendedrealities27]

If you can not write in Javascript without errors, let's have a police which constantly telling you are wrong writing a code which does not make any errors

[@boiimcfacto2364]

JavaScript for life! It gives you the freedom to write code of any quality - good or bad, it's all up to you. And without the hassle of a compile-step.

[@NJ-wb1cz]

Not really. Why can't I write code to read out of bounds memory? Why can't I reserve and release memory manually? Why can't I do binary operations on objects and manipulate their code? I should be able to change bits of anything I want directly but JavaScript doesn't let me. It's way too restrictive and polices you too much.

[@braumski2]

If you're a hobbyist that's fun and all, but companies are trying to make things fast

[@Daniel_WR_Hart]

@@braumski2 As a hobbyist it really sucks when I accidentally add two strings of numbers and get weird results without error messages
