Once I accepted that JS might not be the worst language in existence I slowly got to the point where now JS is my go-to language for most things. Specifically with TypeScript, I feel like I have the best of both worlds. I have a typed scripting language that works for the frontend and backend, and things just flow so nicely.
- sureglymop 4y agoTypescript is great to work with (mainly due to the tooling). Vanilla js is not.
- EMM_386 4y agoAgreed. My hatred for JS arose from having worked with it in the late 90s/early 00s and it was really painful. I did everything I could to avoid it during the ensuing years, focusing mainly on back-end work. Having circled back around to it recently due to full-stack work, I'm now also using TypeScript targetting ES2022, and things are much, much better. I feel that ES6 was a game changer, it really brought about major improvements to the language.
