Facebook (excuse me, bunch of FB employees from the Flow team) says no: https://github.com/facebook/flow/issues/7365#issuecomment-454956694 https://github.com/facebook/flow/issues/7365#issuecomment-45.... Of course, that's exactly what I'd say if I was in charge of a dying project.
Edit: but, their main codebase is in Flow, and that sounds like a mess to migrate, so I wouldn't be _too_ worried. It might slow down, but I doubt it will become unmaintained anytime before Facebook gets sued out of business :-P
- kimsk112 8y agoI recalled when Microsoft employees and MVPs denied when Silverlight was dying. :-( I think the TypeScript momentum is too strong now.
- LaGrange 8y agoI think Flow's in more direct trouble, but I wouldn't announce victory for TypeScript just yet. With wasm around the corner, things may (or may not, shrug) change significantly.
- int_19h 8y agoEven with wasm, much as I'm looking forward to the Great JS Purge personally, it's not going to happen anytime soon - too much existing code and devices. JS will remain necessary on the front-end for at least another decade, and probably beyond that. So TS will still be necessary to make the pill less bitter.
