This is not about TypeScript per se but about providing a more standards-based alternative for the Node.js JavaScript eco-system for non-browser environments.

- DrFell 7y agoI am beginning to think the JavaScript ecosystem for non-browser environments is a deepening spiral. Learning another language does require effort, but the increasingly circuitous machinations being invented to continue using browser scripting technologies outside the browser are starting to seem like even more effort. Plus, those efforts yield skills that only apply within the contrivance. A second language would apply more broadly, and probably be more edifying.
- galaxyLogic 7y agoMakes sense. But on the other hand JavaScript is currently more important than just another script-language for browsers. Browser has become the universal GUI platform. You want your application be usable over the web. So there's a lot momentum behind JavaScript, and also lot of effort to make it better.
