@gomp I like TypeScript.
I used Python for 15 years or so until they changed from v2 to v3. At that point I realised I couldn't understand my old code because it lacked types, so I got discouraged with that. So rather than learn v3 I stopped using it.
Perl is a disaster. sh is good for shell scripts but let's not stretch it.
TypeScript can use all the JS libraries and runs on node which is supported by all sorts of platforms. Yes there are a few holes in the type safety, so don't do that.
The internet is full of "how to do X in JS". You can read them and add the types you need.
I'm just a programmer - Java, Scala, Angular, Node, AWS, MySQL, GWT, etc. Actually a doctor of programming stuff.
I'm a white anglo-saxon cis male het atheist commie class traitor dad. I've got it pretty good and others should too. I believe that climate change will kill us all.
