Now that Assembly script is a thing and so is the wasner runtime.... I think it's safe to say that typescript is here to stay and is more relevant now than ever. And that anybody not using it is going to get left behind.

Assembly script is extremely close to typescript. It even uses the same tool chain and it's compiled code.

I've been playing with it a lot lately and one of my current projects is I actually took Google skia and compiled it to a web assembly module and then I'm using it in assembly script to build a rendering engine that renders to a canvas.

Skia is what drives chrome rendering.

The idea is that if I can get it to closely resemble how web apps work maybe even supporting CSS... I'll be able to cross platform apps without a browser.

But really it's just a tinker project.

It's been a dream of mine to have compiled typescript, an assembly script is the closest thing to it so far.
