Comment on Open source hooliganism and the TypeScript meltdown

Comments

I don't remember Svelte getting nearly as much blowback when they removed TypeScript from that project.

my guess is that's primarily due to the shift in incentives for social media, but also Svelte's decision being made by the group of maintainers/contributors together, and not impacting end users more or less at all as Svelte didn't stop generating types when they swapped from TS to JS+JSDoc

Was Svelte’s decision made in the span of a few hours by a single person, who also silently removed a bunch of other stuff in the same PR?
