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?
Javascript is a fad.
Reject web dev; return to native.
I strongly disagree with this, web dev is great because you can serve hundreds of different devices with the same code, I can’t imagine developing native solutions to each one, yikes
