This guy invented ruby on rails, one of the most ridiculous things that I had the displeasure of working with.
Yeah he's a retarded.

Typescript sucks people make everything way too strongly typed and lose so much benefit of dynamic typing in js. Flow is better.
JS has one of the worst type systems I've ever seen. Maybe it's "flexible" for mongs who just mash frameworks together, but actually building something nontrivial in it is psychotic.
>actually building something nontrivial
Why would you do that in js?
Because the job market demands it, unfortunately. Or you're feeling masochistic and want to make a browser extension.

Never again.
> way too strongly typed
Typescrypt is not "way too strongly typed", you fucking idiot. The typing is even optional as it is a superset of JS.
You're even confusing strong/weak tying static/dynamic typing. You simply don't like static typing. Brainlets who program with script languages typically don't understand the advantages of static typing, but if you ever work with a big application you will understand pretty quickly.
typescript is terrible. the ONE good thing about javascript is that it is dynamically typed. then troon redditors that spend more time reading blog posts about haskell than writing code (because they're incompetent) turned up and decided to "improve" it by adding a stupidly complex type system.
I too deleted typescript from the JS projects I took over maintenance of. It's annoying enough without a build system.
unfathomably based
typescript is a terrible crutch for bad programmers that just complicates everything from the code writing to the testing and production pipelines
anyone who thinks it's a benefit to add a compile step to javascript for 0 performance benefit needs to get their brain checked
Have you ever worked on anything other than hobby projects?
I've been a full stack js dev for 4 years now
just use jsdoc and a non-trash editor for the typehints and you've got 90% of the benefit with none of the downsides
If your code can run without the jsdoc hints, then people won't write them.
I don't care what people say they plan to do or what's they think is best, if they're not forced to do it to get the code to run, they just won't.
I'm not talking about retarded pajeets either, I'm talking about me on a Thursday/Friday on the 8th week of a 1 month project.
>inb4 code reviews forcing them in
They wont.
nothing is forced in typescript either though, just do :any and you're golden
that's what you end up doing a lot of the time anyway since in jsland you're always dealing with some API and fetching some data and making the """compiler""" not shit itself over that is a giant pain if you don't
>I think all the people who are arguing hard for this are the ones being disrespectful, feel free to fork and move on.
Fucking based. How many of these complainers are sponsoring the guy? I bet zero. If these naggers don't like it, they can feel free to fork and maintain it themselves or just commit suicide.
absolute retard for doing this
absolutely based for winning le mans and WEC in his category

Lmao do webtards really lose their minds when they have to define types?
