You're a dogmatic true believer, and it's rarely worth arguing with dogmatic true believers. Just notice that you threw everyone that disagrees with you (or rather, that comprehends a wider range of circumstances than you do) under the bus as "not worth [our] salt". That was not the right thing to say.
And you dismiss my reply (including the part where I point out that the website we are on was first developed in a Lisp) as "some minor imperfections". It's like you're satirizing the tunnel vision of the fundamentalist.
And, true to form, you "know" what the deno team wants better than they themselves do! I hope you can come back to this thread in a year or two with some perspective.
- WClayFerguson 6y agoIn the above discussion I focused on the technologies, programming languages, and the core of the technical issue. You seem to focus on personalities, feelings, and emotions. To each his own, I guess. And about me knowing Deno did want to, and did attempt to use TypeScript: the way I know that is because I read the article, lol. Apparently you did not.
- inimino 6y agoI did read the article, and also the design doc which I linked in my top-level comment. The facts are that they started with TypeScript and moved away (for a particular internal component). The interpretation of that as wanting to use it and failing is yours. You could just as well see it as having made a mistake and then realizing it. But all of these interpretations, by those of us who didn't have to make the choice and weren't there when it was made, aren't very helpful.
- WClayFerguson 6y agoThat's correct. They failed to get TypeScript to work. Thanks for reading that.
