Every down vote here is a typetard tear falling down because they just can't reasonably defend TS.

TypeScript community is a bunch of toxic crybabies forged by advertisement who usualy know absolutely nothing beyond what the propaganda says or about the most basic programming concepts, and want to look like they know something. All arguments in favor of TS are always the same old fake propaganda that Microsoft was laughed about when TS was launched. TS is extremely slow and bloated, it forces stupid practices, and present no real value for any level of expertise, it's basically useless, and serves only for Microsoft to increase their market share. That's why reasonable projects are consistently abandoning it, as popularity pushed by propaganda alone has no real value.

JS is very fast, expressive and flexible enough to allow any amount of strictness you need. TS is just propaganda oriented programming that naive devs and overconfident juniors following the hype of the week use to try to look less stupid and avoid FOMO.

oh please. the "mIcrO$oft is eVol" stuff is lame and tired. it makes the rest of your arguments sound conspiratorial. what business plan entails building out an open-source language with ZERO tie back to your core offerings: Office and Azure?

it's adoption was driven largely due to Angular, not some secret "propoganda" from Microsoft (what a ridiculous word to use in this case).

:#soysnoo4typing:

Thanks for proving my point. If basic common everyday business strategy of multi billion companies sounds conspiratorial, you're the very target for my comment. Cry louder, it seemed to me that even your words were distorted by your crying. xD

:#marseyretardchadtalking:

If basic common everyday business strategy of multi billion companies sounds conspiratorial

sound real stupid not being able to articulate why releasing an open-source language that DOES NOT TIE TO THEIR CORE OFFERINGS is "everyday business strategy".

The problem with TypeScript is that its type system is leaky like Carp's dad's asshole.

For example:

let this_is_a_string_or_at_least_it_should_be : string;

// this line would understandably cause a type error:
// this_is_a_string_or_at_least_it_should_be = {"foo": "bar"}

// but this works:
this_is_a_string_or_at_least_it_should_be = JSON.parse('{"foo": "bar"}');

// outputs: {"foo": "bar"}
console.log(this_is_a_string_or_at_least_it_should_be);

TS just compiles to JS though :marseysquint:

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

if what would take 1 operation when written in Javascript turns into 4 operations when it's compiled to Javascript from Typescript, it'll slow it down significantly. It ends up running Javascript, but it can end up running worse Javascript.

same way C# and C++ both compile to assembly, but C++ can be more performant, because C# has to do a bunch of extra stuff to handle all its quality of life features and that results in a lot more work in assembly than the equivalent C++ would be.

This is too funny XD

I'm sorry if I ever offended you, 'cause you clearly don't need anyone to offend you, you do it by yourself xD

After being humiliated by your own intellectual capacity, your question now becomes "how typescript relates to azure or office" xD

As if it makes any sense at this point. You surely don't know what you're asking, you don't know what you're talking about, you don't know how to express the propaganda you've been exposed to and indoctrinated, you don't know any type of rethoric and are trying really hard to sound less stupid, but the main thing you don't know is: you're the worst enemy you've got, and everyone around you can see it but you.

This reminds me of how I felt as a perl monk while python was taking over. I already know perl by Larry Wall, why the frick should I learn perl by Fisher Price? But alas, the winds of change blow strong and my perl skills have been left to rot.

I don't know much about it. Perl 6 looked interesting at the time, but people who use perl are interested in getting stuff done, not jerking each other off and that was a wild 10 year jerk-off session with no orgasm. I know it was spun off but its too late to care. I only use perl for some fancy command line stuff now.

the fact that perl was so unmaintainable that people left for python says a lot.

Effortposts made by SN Chads

Guidelines:

What to Submit

On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.

Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!

In Submissions

Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.

Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.

Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA

If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.

If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.

Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"

Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.

If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.

Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.

If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.

Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.

Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.

In Comments

Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.

Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"

Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.

Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.

Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.

Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.

Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.

Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.

Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.

Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.

Please use uppercase for emphasis.

Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.

Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.

Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.

Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.

Miscellaneous:

We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
