Is TypeScript here to stay? It seems popular with frontend dev who like react. Not sure the general development community has bought in.
React hasn't reached jquery status yet. It does seem like it will be here forever but the next generation of frontend tools will look very different. Will react be amoung them? It's hard to make that jump because React is so great now why change it to match the next fad? But if they skip all fads will they miss the boat.
Is react good enough to say we can stop working on it? I don't think we know what react will end up like. It's doubtful it will be around in 20 years like php. I wouldn't bet on facebook being around after laws are passed limiting how they profit.
- brlewis 6y agoAngular went all-in on TypeScript in a way that React still hasn't. The React crowd is the general development community, and TypeScript has expanded into it.
- wolco 6y agojQuery is still tops in usage in the general development community. But perhaps the frontend developer community has accepted typescript.
