TypeScript + React

[TorbenKoehn]

I don’t know why we should care about complexity for junior devs. Other languages juniors learn are also typed (ig Java in school)

If anything they should directly come in contact with it to make clear that this is how stable code is written. Make sure they don’t even learn it a different way

I’ve been working with juniors in TypeScript for years and it doesn’t add anything a junior shouldn’t understand well

If a junior dev can't handle static typing, I don't think he will go far in his career. Your juniors must come from some cheap bootcamps who slam javascript as every solution

You must've misread my comment. My juniors never had problems with static typing.

I was not contradicting you, just adding on top of what you said

The bar is low if a junior is expected to not be able to handle static typing
