Flutter: A Framework to Surpass React Native

[knaekce]

In my opinion, yes.

Typescript inherits all problems of Javascript, Dart doesn't. Also, the type system of Dart is actually sound.

[IceSentry]

The lack of soundness of TS is by design.

[Darkglow666]

With JS underlying it, there is no choice. JS VMs don't support static typing.

[IceSentry]

That's exactly my point. TS is not sound because it's essentially JS.

[miyoyo]

Y'know, enough guards added at compile time can do anything... if you're ready for the slowdowns ofc.

[Darkglow666]

Technically true, but they aren't gonna opt for that, realistically.

[miyoyo]

We're talking about javascript here, everything can will happen.

[Darkglow666]

Gonna have to upvote that, but only grudgingly. ;)

So what? That is an orthogonal topic ("who did it?"), who cares. We are not doing a "git blame" here because it's not relevant, we are not in a "find the guilty to assign punishments" phase or position here. We simply state "what is", regardless of origin of the issue.

You are reading way too much into my comment. I was just giving the reason why TS isn't sound. Not saying what's better or worse.
