I was talking to my manager the other day, discussing the languages we are using at $dayjob. He kind of offhandedly said that he thinks TypeScript is a temporary fad and soon everything will go back to using JavaScript. He doesn’t like that it’s made by Microsoft either.
I’m not a frontend developer so I don’t really know, but my general impression is that everything is moving more and more towards TypeScript, not away from it. But maybe I’m wrong?
Does anyone who actually works with TypeScript have any impression about this?
By saying gut feeling I hope I am being clear I have zero tangible evidence? 😅
Maybe over the next decade its usage will grow? Or maybe it will end up relegated to performance critical applications, or JS/TS just end up with the same/better performance anyway.
