We refactored a JS SPA to TypeScript and couldn't be happier about it. So that 'bad' point is fixed.
They use TypeScript also for the TFS web interface, on premise and online and are very happy with the result. There an article on bharrys blog on MSDN about that. So that 'ugly' point is fixed.
Is there really anything bad about TypeScript?
- markusbrutus 11y agoHow about it's tainted with the Microsoft association? Even the appearance of the string "Microsoft" is enough to produce a very visceral reaction to many people. They may suppress it alright and even try to convince themselves that maybe _this time_ Microsoft really has changed but the reaction is there and, like I said, very visceral. The attempts of TypeScript or F# to distance themselves as much as possible from Microsoft speak volumes. And BTW last time I checked Microsoft was still trying to push its MS Office abomination to schools and colleges as part of some "curriculum". That's equivalent to brain-raping kids in my book.
