> Serious programming work in JS is done in TypeScript
- chrisweekly 1y agoMy point was agreeing with the GP's underlying point that types matter. Yes it'd be crazy to do serious programming work in JS without types -- that's why ~nobody does that. It's why TypeScript exists and ~everybody doing serious work on JS projects uses it. Their argument was almost a strawman, it refers to a hypothetical situation that doesn't pertain. Serious JS programmers use TS.
