I was talking to my manager the other day, discussing the languages we are using at $dayjob. He kind of offhandedly said that he thinks TypeScript is a temporary fad and soon everything will go back to using JavaScript. He doesn’t like that it’s made by Microsoft either.
I’m not a frontend developer so I don’t really know, but my general impression is that everything is moving more and more towards TypeScript, not away from it. But maybe I’m wrong?
Does anyone who actually works with TypeScript have any impression about this?
Yeah. I started as a C++ dev, fell in love with Go, then ended up on Rust.
Felt like a nice middle ground of “It’s got the types I need, but it feels good to dev on”
I really did enjoy using go for smaller projects though, would do so again.
