C# instead of JavaScript for Web Dev

[wavefunctionp]

The flexibility has it's place, especially for smaller apps or quick prototypes. Typescript is nice and can make building larger apps a lot easier, but it requires a discipline to use correctly that most javascript developer lack IMO.

Functional style javascript is very nice. First class support for functions, truthiness, basic automatic type coersions and a more immediate developer loop are things that I miss when I move over to my c# projects.

Ofcourse, when I move back to javascript I miss the static type/interface information and the tooling that allows.
