I spent the better part of last winter developing in the article author’s Vapor server-side Swift project, which I found to be absolutely delightful (shout out to Tanner and the crew, you guys are amazing!) The following summer I got a gig doing Typescript on both client and server; mostly the experience has highlighted to me how well designed Swift feels, and how stapled on and hacked Typescript feels. Do not like.

> how stapled on and hacked Typescript feels It is stapled on, though, right? Typescript is stapled onto Javascript. There's only so much they can do. I don't mean that as an argument for Typescript, more just that there are real constraints for the language developers.
