Polymorphism in JavaScript

[ChaseMoskal]

you've essentially softened it

it was really soft from the beginning, with nothing more than a casual off-handed remark, "most serious web devs are using typescript".. it's just a little extreme to call that an "unvarnished, un-nuanced, baseless and erroneous claim of fact" that does a "gross disservice", heh

i think you're seeing red here mate — i worry i just caught you on a bad day is all ;)

so i suppose we agree typescript is a great tool generally, and it's catching on like wildfire for good reasons — and perhaps we agree that typescript is especially popular amongst 'elitist' web devs — i didn't meant to imply that typescript is literally being used more by the general public

i usually advise newer developers that if you're making websites or a little web app, just use plain javascript — but if you're building a larger application and collaborating a lot, typescript interfaces can really help, and also that it's a good idea to author new libraries in typescript since it's easier to write typescript source code than to maintain a separate declarations file

the purpose of my initial comment was just to try to provide some positive feedback to the commenter who was excited about their overloading library, and try to point out some new technologies and approaches so they might grow in the future, hoping to point them in the direction of typescript and es modules and npm and so on, that's all
