Typescript seems like such overkill, but then you need to refactor your code and hit a bunch of issues in production. I don't think I'll ever go without typescript again. Fuck dynamic typing, it doesn't scale

@runfrodorun I would say that typescript is the best thing Microsoft ever did. And it's not really a bullshit language.

@runfrodorun as much as I hate close sourced Microsoft stuff, somehow my career has led me to C# dev. There's no escape :(

@sixteenbitt I was a C# dev once but I made it out. There's still hope!

@runfrodorun I totally understand your disgust against M$, but they really improved in a lot of ways.
They are big in contributions to the linux kernel development, they created VS Code, TypeScript is a big fucking help for JS projects, they somewhat added bash to Windoze, dotnet is opensource, C# is a nice language, ...

I guess they are finally finding a way to get at least some respect back 😉

@runfrodorun Thanks for your competent comment.

Yeah MS truly had and still has a big image PR.

About the C# stuff, I read some of your older comments about it and it opened my eyes. I mean C# together with .NET is pretty useful to create stuff but it totally makes sense to write serious stuff in C++.
What I always hated about C# is the long lines you get, when you work with different namespaces, classes etc.
The code gets more and more unreadable...

It is great to have people like you here knowing so much about compilers and lowlevel stuff!
