I hear they’re changing the language these things run on from JavaScript to TypeScript.
No thanks to the hamster wheel.
TS is a superset of js though, you can still use normal js and probably won't have to even change the file extension or anything like literally 0 change
I mean, Typescript just compiles down to JavaScript. I'm also generally anti a million frameworks, but JavaScript to TypeScript is easy
Isn't it also like opt in? If you don't annotate a type it just defaults to Any, which is just unchecked like standard JS
Yup
As far as I know, it is. Type safety is optional but very useful sometimes
