From the article:
> Typescript also came with a lot of “social proof” and better assurances about its longevity There are several large projects using Typescript (examples include VSCode, Rxjs, Angular, and Typescript itself),
While I agree with the sentiment, I don't understand why they include "Typescript itself" in this list. Isn't that a circular argument?
- ubershmekel 9y agoTypescript as a project might be bigger than the rest. E.g. compared to flow the typescript repo has double the stars and quadruple the commits. If those metrics mean anything.
- nycdotnet 9y agoNot really. It's direct proof that the language is good/fast enough that the people creating it chose it for themselves. The flow team, for example, wrote their language in ocaml.
