Now is a good time to learn front-end tech. Skipping YUI was good, but you should learn at least one of Mithril, React, Preact, Inferno. I recommend Mithril for learning and React for job opportunities. It's OK to have skipped CoffeeScript, but you don't want to skip TypeScript in 2018. The past couple of years have been good as it has increasingly harmonized with ES6.

You can work perfectly fine in the industry without typescript.

  Not for much longer. TypeScript is such an easy productivity boost compared to JavaScript.

    I think you mean different things under “the industry”.

I'm perfectly happy in ClojureScript to be skipping TypeScript and most of the JS ecosystem :) Not everything on the web has to use the normal stacks. I used TypeScript in the past but didn't enjoy the complexity of most JS libs, even with typings. Clojure was a breath of fresh air, and still is.

mithril should be the default choice for everyone. no compiler, no file format, no commandline tools, comes with its own router and request functions, and is 8kb.
