Learnt typescript, didn't knew that it's Microsoft

Why do you regret learning something that actually can help you a lot just because its from some big company you "don't like" ?

Sure, Microsoft can go suck a dick, but typescript is a descent language

@runfrodorun that's gave us a different type of education, still helpful in someway

And for TS, its just a better JS.
Google even uses it in its Angular framework.
Why do you hate it, just because of its origins.
That's what started the whole Auschwitz medical program.

@runfrodorun TS is open source so it's not profitable for Microsoft
They may make money in immorta ways (we all hate that) but that doesn't change the fact that TS is a good language
And the hate towards it just because it was conceived by some corporation is immoral in itself

I seriously cannot understand how anybody could regret learning TypeScript.

It has a huge positive impact on productivity and helps you avoid a lot of errors before you even execute it.

@runfrodorun I respect your opinion, but your analogy with medical research in auschwitz is not an argument, these two things are not comparable at all.

@runfrodorun Godwin’s Law in three comments. Well played.

I agree with that ts is a good language that can improve productivity, but i won't use it.

Also thanks for your aguments, was pleasant to read, i bursted out laughing too

@g-m-f do Microsoft tested win XP startup sound on kittens?

But seriously. TS is one of the best things that happened to JS.

And the part that pissed me off most was the global typescript package creates a config dir right in home
~/.typescript I think, or was it without dot
Not even hidden or was it called Microsoft
Can't remember

Put your shitty config on ~/.config/.crapcrap

@metaory my ~/ is crowded with those. Lot of programs do it, it's common practice to go to ~/.yournamehere with configs or even deps.

@runfrodorun I'm interested in your more detailed opinion on typescript.

I understand that you are not willing to use it as mentioned in your second comment but other than that it would be very interesting to see if you have other strong arguments against "the use of typescript compared to JavaScript (doesn't matter which ECMAscript version)".
