With the javascript community fixing most of it shortcomings, I suspect in a few years JS/TS is going to be way far ahead of any programming language in term of users.
- GordonS 8y agoInteresting that you say JS/TS - while Typescript of course transpile to JavaScript, the 2 languages take very different approaches to something that really divides devs - the question of static vs dynamic typing.
- mynegation 8y agoExactly. Together, this pair of languages will appeal to a broader range of developers - those preferring dynamic typing, those preferring static typic, and pragmatists who start the quick prototype in JS and move to TS for better maintainability.
- Scarbutt 8y agoAdded TS there because they share the runtime and the ecosystem in an almost seamless way, TS users use JS libs and vice versa. TS is being forced on JS users in indirect ways, so JS users will need to be able to at least read TS at some point. Surprisingly, npm inc states that 46% of npm users are already using TS.
