People may forget what you did, but they'll remember how you made them feel. It's been years since I've used TS, but I remember it failing to solve about half the problems that I had with JS. I think they did the best they could given the constraints though.
This article is a good example. TS can't fix the underlying APIs, standard library etc.
- teaearlgraycold 1y agoI wouldn’t blame TS for not fixing the JS standard library. It’s just a type system.
- Atotalnoob 1y agoNormally, I would agree with you, but if you are going to say it’s the best language, then the criticism is fair. Best language would be the entire ecosystem, including standard library
- teaearlgraycold 1y agoYes, I just think you’ve got the wrong expectations if you say “TS failed to fix half of JS’s” problems.
