Who still uses typescript? It's not the mid-2010s anymore. Plain javascript is everywhere and I'd argue using a framework implies an immature project or team.

- realusername 3y agoI've never seen a large js codebase without typescript and I'm not even sure how you could realistically manage one without.
- endemic 3y agoIt’s a disaster. The most knowledgeable dev on my team regularly uses ChatGPT to solve typing issues. At this point we’ve lost the plot.
