- joelbluminator 8y agoI don't think it's such a huge trend, if it was Python wouldn't be one of the top 3 most popular languages in the world. Yes, there is typescript for Angular. Outside of that how often is it used? Pure JS is still used tons.
- scns 8y agoIt may not be a "huge trend", but those investing into static typing reap the rewads. Facebook rewrote messenger in ReasoML, bugs reported by users went from hundreds a year to less then ten. Fearless refactoring is another plus, the compiler will find everything you need to change to make the program run correctly.
