I started making a library to get to know TypeScript. 4 days into the commits and I don't know if I made the best choice or the worst choice. I MEAN WHY CLASSES!! JAVASCRIPT IS MORE A FUCNTIONAL PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE THAN AN IMPERATIVE PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE! I DONT WANT TO NEW UP! I DONT WANT THE DEVELOPERS TO NEW UP! WHERE ARE THE DESIGN PATTERNS! I CANT FUCKING FIND IT!!

It's there if you want to use it and some people like having classes but typescript quickly gets more complicated than you are comfortable with considering its a freaking scripting language at its core

@flag0 just curious, but what does that mean? Up until about 2005, people said the same thing about Python. I'm not a huge JS fan, but it *is* Turing complete. Not trying to be a dick, just saying that the whole 'it's less powerful bc it's a "scripting language"' doesn't hold up if you think about it..

@stable-penguin well I don't object to using JS if you find it comfortable. And I accept that it has evolved to become much more than a scripting language. But I absolutely despise people who just learn Angular, jQuery, react or one of the popular framework and then think they know JavaScript. I try to keep framework use to minimum. Maybe I like keeping things as slim as possible and this is the result of that mentality.

@flag0 Ok, that makes more sense. I agree that someone should learn the fundamentals first and that learning a framework does not equate to knowledge of the entire language. Thanks for the feedback!
