A few days ago, David Heinemeier Hansson
announced
that Turbo 8
is dropping TypeScript
. I'm okay with that because I don't even know what Turbo 8 is. However, over the past few years, some frontend programmers have tried to sell me the idea that "TypeScript is useless, just use tests". I think people with such opinions either don't care about code quality or simply don't know what TypeScript is. Here, I will explain why you should use TypeScript.
It can with some glue code that you better be writing in TypeScript if you care about code quality.
(As far as I know, it can’t manipulate the DOM directly. Maybe things changed in the past couple months since I checked, but I doubt it.)
