@dansup I thought we weren't listening to DHH anymore?

@dansup I went the other way, to a proper strongly typed language. Operator overloading, how I missed you. TS will never have that and I never benefited much from it anyway. But I'm not going back to regular JS either (except for some glue code here and there).

@dansup sorry for being rude but screw DHH with his deranged takes. man keeps living in times when he created rails and tries to force that on others

if you don't like typescript, that's fine, I get it, don't use it in your apps if you don't want to. but what he did is totally remove any typings from the LIBRARY that others use, without any alternative

the right way to do it is how @rich_harris did it at svelte where they now use JSDocs and publish declarations, which works great for everyone

@dansup I am so not surprised to see Taylor Ottwell siding with fucking DHH
