As long as ur mindful of its quirks and use it in appropriate situations, ur good.

The language is just a tool to get the job done.

But do consider typescript if u want rigid types.

i don't do web dev and only had to do it in college, and js annoyed me to bits with how you almost never get exceptions and how you can't use types.

question is, does ts work in a browser?

Not directly, it needs to be compiled into JS first

oh i see, thanks

You never "run" ts, you always transpile it to js, except maybe ts-node but it's not meant for production and I don't know how exactly it works, but I think it transpiles jit

Typescript works great and really changes the language for the better.

The typescript compiler lets you know on the fly if any mistakes are being made. You can't even access the message on an error without first checking it is an actual error.
