I 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.
