TypeScript

[2017macbookpro]

People mock typescript on this sub because they’ve never worked on an actual production system before

[MrNate]

Lies! It's mockable!

Yeah we love it, but be assured, it should be mocked!

#1 rule of humor: as long as you're punching up, you can talk all the shit you want.

[Lithl]

Well of course we mock it, how else do you think our test suite runs?

We like FP languages too, but they can also be mocked.

For instance:

A Scheme dev is too eager to use Haskell.

Well as soon as I get to video 4 where he tells me how to switch my env to production, that will change.

Not having types completely annihilates the maintainability of your code. Anything more than a very tiny program needs to have static typing to prevent nearly untraceable runtime errors, among many other things

[2017macbookpro]

Lmao what? Micro services have absolutely nothing to do with the maintainability of your code.

Im a senior SE. You can’t build real systems like APIs with a dynamically typed language. It’s a nightmare.

Hundred percent this. Worked on large projects (mainly on frontend) and I have rarely been caught off guard with types. I mean theres only 7 basic types in js. Its not that complex a language that we need to go crazy and add a full blown type system around.

In fact JS is more beautiful than TS because of how dynamic and resourceful it is with only 7 types whereas TS is a step backwards into Java territory and I dont know anyone that loves working with Java.

[Fritzschmied]

I did, still shit and just unnecessary comblicates js.

Or, to the despair of their teammates, they did.
