- raxxorraxor 2y agoI do write JavaScript by hand directly for the browser to consume. I am no web developer though and I dislike the toolchain that webpacks my imaginary TypeScript project. To me a scripting language immediately loses its best features. I understand why large JS projects get implemented in TypeScript. I do visualization for the browser and don't need it and frankly, most sites I see wouldn't need it either. The most complicated JS code is some shitty advertiser tracking anyway. But with a toolchain like that, I don't see why you wouldn't want to compile a program if you have all the drawbacks anyway.
