What does Jow Forums think of Typescript?

I don't think of it.

Worse than Javascript.

A godsend for those who hate JavaScript but are forced to work with it.

this,
what's a typescript?

Love it

The best scripting language. Better than Python or Ruby.

not a big fan, i think its mostly a waste of time compared to purescript. i guess if you have to pick between typescript or javascript you should probably pick typescript

I don't like it. It's too much. The only good thing about it is it makes refactoring easier if you use vscode, and I don't use vscode.

What's the benefit of typescript ?

Microsoft's botnet. So it's a meme.

it's great. Introduces me (javascript noob) to new language features and syntax, plus helps me avoid mistakes.

It's for brainlets that don't think through their code and need hand holding

Doesn't add anything of value to javashit and you have to compile it
I dunno why hipster faggots are shilling it

>and you have to compile it
most people use ES6/ES7 syntax anyways and have to compile it too (even node doesn't support ES7 fully, so even for server code you have to compile it if you want to use modern syntax)

Slightly better, but it's still a meme

It's good for enterprises who write absolute spaghetti-code and can't just write proper, safe javaScript from the get-go. but if you're writing your own little project it's probably over-engineering to use TS

Better than Javascript in theory. In practice, Javascript can't be saved and Typescript is an exercise in futility and transpile time.

That's kind of the definition of a meme.

>ok idea
>bad first implementation
>gets worse with every version bump
#justmicrosoftthings, they do this every single time

total god send
makes front end nice finally

>modern syntax
ishygddt

JS brainlet confirmed
enjoy getting memed into this turing tarpit

>not designing a language to be extensible by metaprogramming
>2018
pick one

>automatic semicolon injection
>not even once

webasm will get rid of all this nonsense

in the meantime go back to scrubbing toilets you mental retard

Dart is better.

Pretty cool but almost every time it updates in package.json something goes titsup so not using it sweetie.

I think you should take your own advice
