People have brought it up but I feel the need to drive it home: while Typescript is amazing and, when used correctly, can allow more expressive and bug-free code then es5, adoption will suffer greatly and has the potential to detract from the overall success of Angular 2.0.
- rubber_duck 11y agoTypescript is the feature of Angular 2.0 for me There are plenty of ES5 frameworks out there - the biggest value proposition Angular 2 brings for me is that it's built with typescript from the start and it leverages all of it's features (ie. modern OO tooling that comes with languages like C# and a language that feels familiar to C#/Java devs) and builds a GUI framework on top of it that works in the browser. Without being native TS Angular 2 would have very low appeal to me.
- Roboprog 11y agoYou know, there are some of us who like the fact that Javascript is a dynamic language that supports functional programming (FP) style. For us, "being like Java" is not a plus. My IDE already does a pretty good job at type inference while I am editing, as well as displaying the comments about each symbol as I click on it.
