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?
No, I’m not going to follow your logical retreat any longer. You said
You were presented with not small but big time scripting and two of the largest and most popular modern web platforms of the world (BTW I neither use nor like those myself but that’s, as mentioned, irrelevant) and still cannot admit you’re wrong, so I don’t think you would even if I dug out some examples in “serious” fields (apparently building trillion dollar companies on such platforms isn’t serious enough).
Also never assume generations. According to social media demographics, odds are I’m older than you.
