"Stop using js" ok got it bye

[AbDevSec]

at the end typescript codes are compiled as js code which bring us to the point where we should learn javascript first, cause its simply a javascript with types build on the top of it

Js is dominant man, it will take ages for TS to replace it

[codegreenie]

Imagine a newbie seeing this and decides to move from html & css straight to typescript

Just started typescript one week ago after studying js for the past 4 month it is so much better I feel I more understanding code than before but it is so frustrating when you forget to type something

Him: stop using js
Me who didn’t even use js in the first place: ok

when I write javascript, which isn't often, I know that my code is not going to explode.

In the front-end development, I found Typescript very slow down my productivity, but in the back-end nodejs framework like nestjs built with fully support Typescript is opposite. I found it boots my productivity and working in production is also a lot easier.

If you're deploying code that explodes, you should go back to the drawing board, not use a crutch. TS is great and all, but so is JS if written properly.

JS is like C for the web, TS is C++.

I still prefer JSD type-annotations

[sergenalishiwa]

For small hobby apps, js is still fine.

Thought I would put this out here, Typescript doesn't compile to JavaScript it transpires. Compilation usually involves converting human readable code to machine or bytecode.
I'm sure Lewis knows this but this may be useful or interesting for some of you other commenters :)

True, I deployed my app and it started crashing. I noticed that some of the packages were not imported and the website had a cache that's why I didn't get the error. Now I'm learning TypeScript and would only use JavaScript with supertype power.

You can actually implement faster with typescript too because of the auto-complete

[Pmarmagne]

TypeScript, angular, react, etc. It takes so long to develop something nowadays. I'll just stick to Django and htmx

[Larimuss]

If you want to learn JavaScript should you still start there so you understand it better?

[giftfromyoutube]

Most tutorials that I have come across have recommended learning JavaScript to some extent before learning Typescript. Even on the Typescript docs page, they themselves say Typescript is a subset of JavaScript, which can be compiled to JavaScript. Typescript is good for front end projects, when used with Selenium and Python (I have seen a Bitcoin tutorial for this). I get what you are trying to say, but this is not the way to put it. I think what you mean to say is that learning Typescript will save a lot of stress when it comes to writing or deploying large software. Since this is one of the advantages it has.

Javascript developers be like -
👺🤬🤬

"your assignment must be typed in JavaScript using my skeleton code" 😢

[zeechy]

All I needed to hear was "Stop using JavaScript", and now I'm going to go live my life right this time.

My wife left me because I was spending 90+ hours per week for 3 years working on JS for a former employer. Not anymore. I have a marriage that needs to be saved
