But nobody (as far as I know) who has used TypeScript wants to go back to vanilla JavaScript. I find that fairly telling.

- joelbluminator 5y agoGoogle "the problem with typescript", there are people who don't like it. I don't know how many they are but saying "no one" is silly.
- jaredcwhite 5y agoYou need to get out more. =)
- pjmlp 5y agoI only use TypeScript on projects written from scratch for TypeScript, like Angular. On personal projects I only want to deal with builtin browser technologies, there is no npm, webpack, tsc, yarn, whatever, just plain <script/> tags.
- richeyryan 5y agoI broadly prefer JavaScript to TypeScript. TypeScript has it's place and is certainly useful in some scenarios (it's union type is so powerful) but I don't think I'd ever plan on coding exclusively in it. I've written code in OCaml and Rust too so I know what a good type system can do. I think at least for UI work there is a lot of space for dynamic plumbing together of well typed components. Components in this case meaning actual UI components as well as modules of business logic or state management.
