The future of Turbo 8 without TypeScript
Why Turbo 8 Might Abandon TypeScript

[gyanaranjan]

I use TS in my work a lot but actually we don't need that much types actually we have to just protect some misconfiguration which can be done with Js using jsdoc and many other things. It's actually annoying when the codebase is large satisfying every type defination is difficult.

[sunnyy]

I agree. It reduces the development pace for startups too.

TS is not needed in runtime. Because the browser eventually only understands plain javascript. Also JSDoc is a much better solution to type check in compile time. I agree with the point of type gymnastics said by the creator of ruby on rails. It kills your creativity when you are constantly worried about the right type checks and also it makes the codebase difficult to read, as almost everywhere in a large codebase you will be having return types, function types and variable types everywhere and JSDoc helps to manage that much better.

[sheikhuzairhussain]

Fun fact: The TypeScript team sees JSDoc as merely a different flavour of TypeScript because it's the TypeScript compiler that extracts type information from JSDoc annotations and provides IntelliSense and code completion for such codebases

My brother has over 15 years of experience and is currently a Senior Architect Engineer and when I asked him what he thought of TypeScript, he said "I have never had the need to ever use TypeScript professionally in all of my career, it's a waste of time" If you truly understand what you're doing, you don't need "type safety", it's like telling a grown adult to use safety scissors so he doesn't hurt himself when cutting a piece of paper. 😂

I support his opinion, TS is too much gymnastics. If you want types, use a language designed for types.

[shashiranjan]

Can't image to work with JS without TS anymore 😑

[mdrashidhussain]

Untill you use the types for efficient bytecode generation, it is an overhead
Currently, we all ise typescript as a linter (sort of) and people don't exactly know the whole notion of a typed-codebase. Browsers need liberation

[urstrulypriyankrai]

For one man army js is best
But for the team you should use Ts

[pranupranav]

Types are the super power. If you can't use it then you are missing a lot of power.

[uguremirmustafaoglu]

TS makes us developers cog in a machine which can be replaced easily.

[IINoirII]

I learned basics of TS and forgot about it. I'm still not convinced to use it as an individual developer, even when everyone says go for it, 100%. Articles say it more useful for teams, so I supposed it is a corpo technology. Now some lib maintainers ditch it, because it is hard to maintain it in conditions of dynamic requirements. A while ago I was tinkering with some TS based CMS codebase and, yeah, you delete one parameter and everything is red, and you have to go beyond base knowledge just to handle type errors - it demands to allocate additional time aside from usual code writing. Pain

[gvsakhil]

Worst decision. Its common for developers to make mistakes and typescript helps a lot. Agree with u

[thuglifeinventor]

Javascript and python are meant to be for writing the business or bigger picture, its like neurotypical people vs neurodivergrnt people.
How can you use strict mechanical language that can barely brush the bigger picture 🖼️ in startups or business. Microsoft is an established company. But still doesnt make sense even then.

[S__Arslaan]

What i understand from comment section is typescript is like a condom. If you sure you will pull out in time then no need of typescript 😂

[scilumin]

TS is unnecessary baggage on top of JavaScript

[abduladilsunnat]

Strap your seatbelts cuz there’s bouta be a whole lotta turbulence

[DanielNistrean]

He is building a Tool. Not a commercial product.

[wolverine_d_king]

Delete tyscript. I was thinking of learning it now i can relax that i dont have learn this dumb thingm
