IE failed because they tried to define the standard as themselves. i argue we’re witnessing that again from the same company that only gave up that strategy once they had typescript, github, npm locked in. i’m not bullish on political strategies being technical solutions, which is the premise. typescript has nothing to do with internet explorer, true, but is it really not obvious that it is the same tactic as a different brand? become the standard, steer the committee. and broken in that copying code between systems requires compatibility between configurations, which should be a red flag for any language.
