kunashe19548ydo go a bit easy on javascript.
true is not in any way the same as "true" - its only in our minds that we conflate the two. - 
				
				
orto11418yDoes anyone know of statically typed layer that compiles down to js? BTW, I know it defeats the point. It would still be amazing to have 🤔. - 
				
				
Rocket3G2008y@orto that'd be the aforementioned Typescript. Facebook's Flow also has some neat functionalities though. :) - 
				
				I once spent 4 hours to find a typo was making a new variable instead of assigning to the one I wanted.
