It's not flame bait at all, unless you aren't willing to accept different opinions, or have no real world experience. I believe exactly what I wrote. The discussion is unproductive and we can argue all day about the pros and cons. And TS isn't just JS, that's just marketing. Example: enum Color { red = 1, green = 2, blue = 4 } isn't even close to valid JS. And don't respond with caveats, as I don't care. I apparently know more than you do about it.
- jchw 8y agoI already explained that in my post. I'll quote it verbatim: >When people say 'TypeScript is just JavaScript,' it's not because they're crazy. It is just saying something else. TypeScript is a strict superset of JavaScript that is compatible and compiles down trivially, which is in contrast to CoffeeScript for example, which was previously popular. Nobody was ever claiming that TypeScript triple equals JavaScript. Please drop the hostility. I'm not interested. If you don't want a reply you're free to quit replying yourself.
- russellbeattie 8y agoActually, yeah, I'm being sort of a jerk. Sorry. Need some more coffee and a break from being online. ;-)
- fold_left 8y agoGood for you for recognising this though, it's important to be able to have reasonable discussions, to learn and grow.
