at yazz we have bet on javascript when many others are moving away. why? because javascript is here to stay as the defacto Browser language. Show me a Mainstream browser that plans to drop JavaScript support and we will Drop JavaScript too
- pedalpete 6y agoI used to take this same perspective, but if you look at how you are coding javascript now, you're building and bundling, so though browsers may continue to run Javascript, that doesn't mean your code will always be written in Javascript. We moved to Typescript two years ago, and now that I'm comfortable with that, and compiling to JS, I wouldn't be surprised to see good compilers for Rust or other languages become the standard in the future.
- zubairq 6y agoGood points. If typescript becomes the standard then for sure we would consider whether we should move our product to typescript
- pedalpete 6y agoTypescript is becoming VERY popular. I Deno (the potential replacement for Nodejs) is written in typescript. I hadn't worked with types before, and hated it when I first started, but once I got used to it, it's a nice experience.
