I adopted typescript shortly after it’s release and went through growing pains in the first couple years. I don’t use it often now. And it ALWAYS comes back to bite me in the butt when doing any decent sized project. If I had to guess time spent fixing things that would have been caught out weights the cons of using typescript
I recommend it.
I dont use it because I dont think I need it. I think mostly because I fall back into old patterns that are easier for me to do. I got burned a bit with original build system having to create all my interfaces etc.
I read the exact opposite: that they regret not using typescript for non-trivial projects because tsc would have prevented dumb mistakes due to a lack of types.
Correct. Most of my projects now and days are under 300hrs greenfield stuff. I do feel typescript can be a little more overhead to get started, once you have some well established patterns IMO its great for more enterprisey projects.
