- AaronFriel 6y agoTypeScript has been around since 2012, and it has since won in the marketplace of ideas, becoming the single most popular language to transpile to ES# and beating a well-resourced competitor in Flow. The type war was "won" by TypeScript, and I expect it's just a matter of time before types make it into the standard. The benefit of winning so completely and having such enormous popularity is that its ideas are very likely to make it into the standard such that no transpilation will be necessary.
- lioeters 6y ago> just a matter of time before types make it into the standard I hope so too. TypeScript has done so many things right in its design and implementation - starting from Anders Hejlsberg, with expertise in creating numerous languages; backward compatibility to allow gradual and seamless migration from JS to TS; structural typing; editor/IDE integration via language server; good documentation; corporate backing (maybe not necessary, but like React, I think it was a big factor in its wide adoption).
- coding123 6y agoI don't understand. So in 2016, Typescript was around for 4 years so it only had 4 years left, yet here we are.
- jatone 6y agoits 'at least another X years' so in 2016 typescript was around for 4 years, and here we are now 4 years later. its still around. seems to be holding.
