Comment on The TypeScript Tax

Comments

I freaking LOVE Typescript.

I shipped an app about 90 days ago based on Typescript.

It's basically a document manager which supports annotations, comments and keeping your documents in the cloud.

Typescript was a MASSIVE win. If you're on a simple code base doing a refactor is easy. Anything significant and it's a nightmare.

If you change an object method JS won't complain.

With Typescript and IntelliJ or VS Code it's just a simple refactoring and your code just works.

I would have probably given up on the project had it not been for TS.
