- matchbok 8y agoIt's pretty difficult to integrate any huge JS library without looking at the online documentation at the same time. You don't know what methods exists or what params are allowed. TypeScript solves this. Any reasonably proficient developer will be more productive integrating a TS library than a JS one. Demonstrably.

- abritinthebay 8y agoDo you include Babel in preprocessors? Or webpack? Because if so that would a) limit things considerably and b) be a little misleading
