I've got 99 problems but the tersity in TypeScript isn't one of them. Can't wait to groan that a random project we depend on uses this and I have to learn new syntax to make a 1 line change.
Whenever I saw coffeescript I just felt like the developers fancied a change for change sake and doesn't have real problems to solve.
It's clever though to create a new syntax, I'll give you that
- Yahivin 4y agoI like the documentation that TypeScript types provide but I'm always running into lots of small quality of life issues that wear me down. - Rest in any position - Dedented block strings - Default to const in for loops - Lack of -> function shortand - Everything is an expression - Implicit returns - Chained comparisons - Nested unbraced object literals - Optional trailing commas in arrays - Optional trailing commas in objects - x.map .name function shorthand Each one is a fairly minor concern but they all add up. I'm sure different people will have a different list of favorite features as well. One of my goals in creating Civet was to fix my top 100 issues with TS syntax while being 99% backward compatible. The ultimate goal being: TS with my top 100 issues fixed will be the best language I have ever used.
