I don't think this will happen, because Typescript now has a very large user base, and Facebook will stick to Flow.
However, I don't think flow is going to survive React, because it's only used there and internally at Facebook, while Typescript is used successfully with React, Angular, and basically everywhere people need typechecking outside of React (Typescript has definition files for most libraries with significant users)
- Matthias247 9y agoOne other interesting thing is that Facebook is even internally cannibalizing itself, by developing and promoting both Flow and ReasonML as a way to develop web apps. From the outside it really seems there are 3 ecosystems, a large one (typescript) und 2 others (Flow and ReasonML) that are mainly used for parts of facebook.
- int_19h 9y agoIf the end result is "Facebook is using Flow, everyone else is using TS", I would consider it settled in favor of TS.
