However crappy your Java codebase is going to be, it will still use types. And as just today Gemini hallucinated an API call that never existed (in a widely available and used library even), it's just better to have the ability to check that right away.
- agos 1y agothe codebases I've worked at in the last ten years are not as half arsed as that - and of course from my point of view are "real" enough. If a codebase is so unkempt the issue is not Typescript - and forgive for writing such a platitude, but you can write awful code in Java, too.
- tpm 1y agoYes but it will be typed awful code and the typing provides a grounding of sorts. However awful code in untyped/dynamically typed langs can be unspeakably bad. I have many years of Perl experience...
