No. Why do you?
For a language to not try and have all the features it possibly can is a feature.
- lagrange77 4y ago> No. Why do you? I mean, i like TypeScript a lot. I think i do find it odd, because i'm used to using languages, that are constructed with a certain feature set. Obviously Java/ECMA Script evolved a lot more chaotic than most other languages. Transpiling a superset of a language to its subset introduces indirection, which makes it feel hacky imo. I feel like, if there is another language feature we want to add in the future, how should that be injected? In form of a superset of TypeScript? I would be cool with TypeScript as the target language, though.
