Even if you compile to JavaScript from another language, you'll end up eventually debugging the compiled JavaScript in some cases. Painful times debugging GWT code compiled to JavaScript suggest that the development tools aren't sufficient to avoid the need to do so.
In comparison if you write Objective C for iOS, you can debug the Objective C, as opposed to needing to debug in the compiled assembler.
- dkarapetyan 12y agoI've never had to debug actual JavaScript whenever I've used TypeScript. Source maps are pretty nice and both Firefox and Chrome developer console are a joy to use when debugging. There have been plenty of times when dropping down to the assembly level and looking at obj dumps has been the right way to debug a problem so abstractions leak no matter where you are in the stack.
