Never heard of that one, and if it works for you then more power to you! Analogy's are all about making sense of new data using older previously understood data, so if the old reference doesn't ring any bells... you just need to f

Markup (aka JSX) in js was already a standard way back in 2004 as E4X. It was however only implemented by firefox and adobe (actionscript).

Maybe you misunderstood the saying? An a-hole is the bully, not the victim. The valuable people you talk about are the victims of a-holes.

Hey! Can you not tell when someone is on your side? I said grey collared shirts and ironed trousers for everyone. Grey all things. Good citizens must be allowed to focus on productivity.

by orange8 7y ago
Why stop at professional dress? Every citizen should dress in the exact same attire with a toned down color like grey, so not only lesser distractions to productivity, but cheaper and more efficient manufacturing processes. Same goes for bu

Great work with the tutorial. One question though, aren't flexbox and grid supposed to be complementary systems? The history part seems to suggest that css grid is the next step in the evolution, or an improvement over flex.

Your problem is the emotional denial that there is an engineering trade-off TypeScript makes by adding strict typing to JS. That trade-off is less flexibility and expression, and the gain is more fool-proof code, thats more familiar and com

Java was used as an example of strongly typed taken to the extreme. Something YOU can relate to, as a TypeScript user. In terms of verbosity, the difference between Java and TypeScript is like the difference between TypeScript and JavaScrip

If you write JavaScript with a c# frame of mind, of-course you'll find it akward and hard to test. TypeScript is basically JavaScript written in a c# frame of mind, and there is nothing wrong with that. If it helps some people be more

If you were more comfortable/most familiar with strongly typed languages, then yes. But don't assume everyone has your tastes. Java for example is a very strongly typed language, and I find the verbosity makes it harder to parse.

How will TypeScript instead of plain JS help the future me? Unless of-course you meant that as a joke (going by the wink).
