How long will it take for you to add X to your TS microservice? Finding a dependency that looks somewhat stable (which will already bring in half of npm packages) is already hard enough, and my experience has never been too great with the JS ecosystem. It has a few gems among a trillion low-quality, always breaking shit. Also, most newer project definitely don’t bring in datelibs, as the java.time package is very great (and was actually “brought into” the standard lib from a popular library, which is how it should be). That overengineered bullshit actually comes from C++ of the time, it just probably didn’t segfault in java and thus higher levels of abstractions could have been achieved in the latter, sticking the concept to java, but I fail to see again, how it has any relevance. Come on, JSON parsing is like one library - that not being available as is is not a problem at all.. Re: serverless. Honestly, is it really as popular a deployment method as I see it mentioned all around? Like, I can’t imagine a serious web app using it for anything besides converting images, videoes/etc, any you ain’t gonna use TS for that either. Coldstart still matters, but it is way overhyped. So.. how exactly TS is better? If you claim to “spend some time in other languages” at least mention something on the language side that would somehow cause a difference. TS is not a paradigm-changing language at all..
