[douchescript]

I have used typescript for production but i am not convinced it adds to the experience. If you are not a js dev, why do you worry about typescript? It seems like you are in the static type camp and want to make a case for that. In the end the runtime is not typechecked anyway so it’s a false security.

Jquery was written to overcome limitations in js browsers as typescript was written to overcome the typing limitation.

It seems again you like the typed lanuage political agenda. I am on the other side - i like dynamic languages. I appreciate that there is another side - i just don’t agree.

There are lots of programming languages and tools that are in wide use by large organizations. That doesn’t make them better or worse.

It just comes down to politics, and I want to make a case for the dynamic camp.

Remember coffeescript? Just a waste of time and effort.
