NEVER Typescript #11
Description
NEVER MEANS NEVER. Why?
- Say goodbye to create react app. Say hello to webpack.
- Enjoy spending 3x amount of time writing useless verbose code with syntax no one can read.
- Enjoy 30 second wait times when re-compiling code on save.
- Enjoy 10+ minute build times for full compilation.
- Enjoy spending days trying to optimize webpack to address the long compilation times.
- Enjoy refactoring code..and spending the rest of the day chasing compilation error rabbit holes and merge conflicts.
- Typescript Generics are the absolute worst and make my eyes bleed.
- Enjoy spending hours trying to figure out typescript's obscure features and not even knowing what they're called or what to even google.
- Enjoy bugs introduced because of Typescript's compilation or feature misuse (shudder).
- Enjoy mixing third party code, sdk, and libraries with Typescript..
- Enjoy seeing any, any, any, any everywhere because we have to ship.
- The idea of compiling from a strong-statically typed language to weak-dynamically typed runtime is absurd.
The only good thing to ever come out of Typescript is VS Code. Thank you for bearing with me.
