TypeScript (https://www.typescriptlang.org/ https://www.typescriptlang.org/) is a good starting point. If you use nestjs (http://nestjs.com/ http://nestjs.com/), it has dependency injection as well. Pairs with Angular nicely.

- narrator 8y agoI've worked some in Typescript and I like it. In fact, it looks like it's going to be the next great enterprise language that's not Java or .Net. Am I delusional?
- AlexCoventry 8y agoI like it compared to javascript, but I think it would be crazy to use it for backend work. I think making typescript happy probably saved me more time than it cost, but it's pretty janky, even compared to similar type systems like mypy. The ability to lie about types caused me quite a bit of confusion, with some libraries, especially immutable.js. Next time I want to develop a frontend system, I think I'll try reasonml.
- ttty 8y agoIt's pretty cool actually. I used node because I can do client side prediction and server side validation with the same code. Note having client and server side in TS, means that I get completion for API calls from client to server side.

- chaostheory 8y agoHave you used it?
- ssijak 8y agoHow can you compare nodejs runtime and java runtime? When you take into account traditional Java uses

- chaostheory 8y agoBecause I agree with the parent's post: "Actually, time to look beyond the whole Java ecosystem." If you're thinking about life without Java, Typescript is interesting. Is it perfect? No, but it's evolving quickly, has traction, and the ecosystem is pretty good.
