> TypeScript over C#
TypeScript is a transpiler for JS. C# is a server side language. Can you please clarify how former is the replacement for latter?
- charrondev 8y agoI don’t want to speak for the OP here, but when I refer to Typescript in comparison to other languages I tend to mean Javascript + the type system provided by the Typescript. Typescript is not even necessarily the transpiler nowadays. I use Babel for that and use Typescript exclusively for static type analysis in CI and during development.
- weyman 8y agoThey could just be referring to the language itself e.g. syntax and structure, not necessarily its primary use case.
- dcre 8y agoJS is also a server-side language.
- TimTheTinker 8y agoI didn’t mean as a replacement for C# or an alternative for a given project. I meant my personal preference as a developer (I do often get to choose what language to use, if only by where I choose to work or what projects I take on).
- sonnyblarney 8y ago"C# is a server side language" Node.js is very popular, making TS/JS available 'on the server side'
