Didn't GWT provide you with type checking on the frontend 10 years back ? Still works, incidentally.

- Touche 10y agoYep. It was horrible to use, but it had type checking, sure. So did Objective-J, from around the same time period, fwiw.
- coding123 10y agoYep, I realized and regretted saying that after I posted that - there certainly are typed languages on the front end, but at some point or another they are all very disconnected from Javascript itself. I feel with Typescript you get both a user-configurable level of type checking combined with the cowboy coder flexibility of Javascript - I guess that's what I was aiming to say. Whether that's a good thing to others is up to them however. ;)
- aedron 10y agoIf you are Java heavy, GWT is still a great option. It is extremely mature and can do pretty much everything you want to do.
- copperx 10y agoI'm glad to hear that there are some mature options out there.
