Well, I wish they would stop using it period, but at least in the browser it makes some sense.
Edit: to be clear, I have no beef with Typescript, Dart, Clojurescript, and the many other languages that compile into JS. It's JS itself I have issue with. I feel like it gives too much flexibility to young programmers to screw things up. There don't seem to be enough safeguards or training wheels. On large projects its my nightmare.

- speedgoose 6y agoIf you have to use JavaScript, you can configure eslint with some plug-ins to have pretty good safeguards or training wheels. You will still miss some strong typing but eslint will warn or prevent most of the awful or stupid code.
