Anyone else actually having a great experience with full-stack typescript?
- winrid 3y agoIt can be nice, but TS the language lets you get really fancy and dealing with excited library developers gets old fast. Also the TS compiler tends to be buggy and break in weird ways with minor version changes.
- teaearlgraycold 3y agoI just try to not use too many libraries given the npm ecosystem. Sometimes you do need excited devs. When the domain is complicated I’d rather have fancy types than static analysis black holes.
- winrid 3y agoI don't think the choice is hard to understand types vs no types with most runtimes.
- presentation 3y agoIt’s great, except that the compiler’s really slow and that trickles down to editor slowdowns, slow CI, etc. Also need to understand it well enough both to understand complex types, but also to know not to go overboard with types. Built a couple businesses already on it.
- preommr 3y ago+1 I've found ts to be a good all-round project language. If I need something with performance, then golang if it's quick/dirty, rust if I need some more complex data modelling.
