Pretty strange to mention TypeScript and not Dart... which solves a lot of his criticisms and is arguably more popular. I respect the functional guys a great deal but the use of Haskell for front-end dev is realistically going to only be an interesting option for those already using it for the backend. It has nothing to do with the merits of the solution and everything to do with people's comfort zones.

- jbdeboer 13y agoThe article starts with the assertion "We need Javascript". Adding Dart to the mix makes that assertion less obvious.
- jasonlotito 13y agoIt mentions Coffeescript.
- mseepgood 13y agoAll other languages listed on that page are entirely different languages as well.
