Re: Turbo 8 is dropping TypeScript
#3My least favourite thing about vanilla JS is finding out at runtime that I made a typo. That's an annoying thing that TS completely solves, among many others. I really don't see how you could use TS for any amount of time and wish to revert back.
>Things that should be easy become hard, and things that are hard become `any`. No thanks!
Denouncing a type system because you refuse to use it correctly seems short sighted to me, but I am of course biased as a TS fan.

I felt similarly. But ultimately, TS is there to solve a particular set of problems, and if they're able to solve their problems without it, more power to them I guess.

Took me a while to figure out, thanks. "Turbo 8" is a useless search term.

#8I've been writing Javascript for 20 years.
Typescript has done nothing for me.
Just a religious battle at this point.
(I'm okay with it on the server, but client side is just something something)

#9> very few programmers are typically interested in having their opinion on typing changed. Most programmers find themselves drawn strongly to typing or not quite early in their career, and then spend the rest of it rationalizing The Correct Choice to themselves and others.
He's certainly right about this. I can't wrap my head around why anyone wouldn't want types in their program*
The types still exist you just didn't write them down! Why won't you just write them down!?
*short scripts excepted
