I am a recent arrival to the JavaScript country and I was taken aback by the prevalent practice that one has to use other languages like TypeScript to develop JavaScript applications because the later is inadequate. I personally don't like having to learn yet another language and all the tooling around that. Aren't we already swamped enough? I am also amazed how JS standards won't address the core issues that make people need to use other languages.
So I created an experimental framework for myself, called JEEP. Its an OOP framework that enhances JavaScript by bringing features from C++. I shared with the community here by posting a Show but unfortunately it didn't succeed in capturing people's interest. I have more to say on this but defer it to later when the time is appropriate. I know and hope once I release a remarkable product created with JEEP, it will automatically garner attention. It was anyway intended to serve only me, which it is doing, and anything greater was always a bonus, so I am cool with whatever happens.
- madmaniak 8y agoWhat is remarkable project in TypeScript? It's just Microsoft money and brainwashing on conferences and in articles. It doesn't work reasonable way. I wish you good luck though.
- vinayms 8y agoYou misunderstood me. I am completely against TS. I was talking about creating a remarkable product with my framework.
- madmaniak 8y agoI understood you correctly. I'm just saying, even if you will build remarkable product you will loose with some corporation technology like TypeScript. They don't need to be remarkable.
- madmaniak 8y agoSorry for being so pessimistic. I wish it be other way. I keep my fingers crossed for your project.
- jf22 8y agoYou do realize JEEP looks as much like a new language as TypeScript does?
- vinayms 8y agoYou do realize that JEEP is still basically JavaScript and one doesn't need to learn yet another language and its tooling?
