It's insane to me that everything Polymer was got reduced to LitElement which is basically a complete copy of React without React and without the immeasurable support of typescript, VSCode support IN the view and debugging directly in the TSX.
- staticvar 8y agoThe lit-element package comes with typescript decorators.
- ernsheong 8y agoYou can use Typescript with LitElement https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/guide/start#use-litelement-typescript-decorators https://lit-element.polymer-project.org/guide/start#use-lite...
- thosakwe 8y agoYeah, I didn't really understand why there was a need for an overhaul like that. I honestly was hoping that there'd be a better story for databinding, types, etc. I just gave up and went back to React.
- ernsheong 8y agoPolymer was trying to do too much (to be a framework), and the quality was average at best. LitElement is able to focus on providing the best base class to build a Web Component. I think it is almost there.
