The author has articles on why TypeScript, CoffeeScript and Dart are "not the answer" (and the first article in the 4-part series is what is wrong with JavaScript itself). Regardless of the merit of the arguments in each, this feels very incomplete without a 5th installment about what is the answer in his or her mind. It's easy to point out flaws, harder to be constructive.
- philbo 13y agoTo be fair, they do conclude the final installment with: "...we need something better. I hope to share some thoughts soon on what such a solution might look like. However, based on feedback in the comments, we’ll need to discuss JavaScript linters first."
- blatherard 13y agoSounds like that's his plan, judging by the end of the coffeescript article (which was published just 2 days ago) "Realistically, the issues I have raised with CoffeeScript don’t come up every day. Ultimately though, they are enough to say we need something better. I hope to share some thoughts soon on what such a solution might look like. However, based on feedback in the comments, we’ll need to discuss JavaScript linters first."
