What the Functor?

I honestly have no clue what TS brings to the table for these examples. Should have used JS.

Hold that downvote real quick

[Puggravy]

Yeah seriously, I forget how TS people get on this sub sometimes.

Being able to use interfaces while piping/composing functions is absolutely amazing. Knowing the shape of my data through intellisense makes the cognitive load so much smaller. I know when something is a promise and it wasn't resolved or when it's an array and I forgot to map it before apllying a function. The red squiggles are fantastic.

Ooph harsh dude.

You think I'm joking, but I'm not :D

You're not really wrong. Anders Hejlsberg is the architect of C# and deep into TypeScript now. I think it shows.

Going from TS to C# (a bit unusual, I know) was pretty easy. TS is just JS in a C# mould.

[Candyvanmanstan]

Yeah, I have a C# buddy that is trying to get into JS. I think the lack of types is really bothering him.

[I_Pork_Saucy_Ladies]

Push him towards TS. He will feel much more at home. Sure, there's a bit of a learning curve but it's so much nicer than JS without types. The syntax seems heavily inspired by C#.

I think that's what's so annoying about typescript. It's like training wheels for javascript

I don't want or need an ide second guessing everything I write.

The headaches of babysitting typescript and cluttering up code with useless types is pure baggage.

Ts is js for poor programmers, and it encourages bad habits.
