That seems like a really weird thing to read into k_bx's post. I think you might want to try re-calibrating your "is this post meant personally"-meter :). FWIW

That seems like a really weird thing to read into k_bx's post. I think you might want to try re-calibrating your "is this post meant personally"-meter :). FWIW, I didn't see any condescension there. I got more of a "Oh, you ain't seen nothin' yet!" vibe from it. Obviously, YMMV. EDIT: Words

It sounded a bit condescending to me. Besides that it was an empty comment; a claim with zero citations - not very useful at all. Anyway, I'm sure that I don't care if an unknown language pioneered something. The language that makes good features popular is the better one.

  > a claim with zero citations - not very useful at all. Gradual typing isn't exactly a TypeScript invention: Typed Racket is gradually typed, has unions and intersections (which in turn date from further back than TR), refinement types, occurrence types, and even comes with a guarantee that typed code won't violate contracts. If the Racket runtime detects a contract violation, blame will always be assigned to untyped code. TR does more than TS does, and it was designed and implemented earlier. > It sounded a bit condescending to me. I didn't read k_bx's comment as belittlement of TypeScript: anything that makes JavaScript better is obviously a good thing! (Since we can't get rid of it.) But, as a matter of fact, TypeScript isn't pushing “what types can do”.
