You're right the tooling could be better and that TS trips up beginners. Promises trip up beginners as well though but that doesn't mean they're not standard.

TS is very, very close to being standard practice. It's already being used by over 50% of JS developers [0]. It doesn't have to be beginner/tooling friendly to be widespread.

- waheoo 6y agoThis isnt a democracy. 50% isnt the bar for a standard. Thats like saying only 50% browsers can render html so its standard.
- jdxcode 6y agoI never said it was standard. I said it's very, very close. 50% (actually 58.5% of just those that would use it again) is certainly within the realm of critical mass.
