Update: It's 2024 and I still...

@Parzi Easy question. https://youtu.be/o_AIw9bGogo

They did this research inside the tensorflow office.

JavaScript and TypeScript.

Netscape: Shall we invent some untyped language to make things easier? JavaScript.

Present day: Are we going to invent some way to type JavaScript to make it easier? TypeScript.

And the world doesn't decide whether it wants to type or not.

Not. Just a stable KBI (or kABI).

Crying in a fetal position over the death of AIX, HP-UX and Solaris, praying that corporations can ship any Linux with BSD 4-like stability.

Worst. Is Java + Javascript + Google. Everything with Google is worst.

Just turn off the smartphone during weekend.

With these options, I think atheism is more viable.

When was serious or professional?

I feel your pain brother.

PHP is like an old Toyota. It has no status, no exclusivity and no luxury. But it runs forever!

I think the guy did it inappropriately.

This happens in all languages, it seems that there is a peak of "passion" and then it stabilizes in rationality (who remembers Java + Struts? It was a mess in the early 2000s). And I notice that this is what happens with TypeScript projects today.

Another interesting point is the amount of libraries that "break" after a short period of time. A program that compiled last year, today you'll probably have to mess with the package.json if you want to recompile it again, while for comparison, this is much rarer in a NuGet, Maven/Graddle, Conan, Composer repository. Every year I have to update some crappy library that has stopped working, which has nothing to do with the fixed functionality itself.

So thanks for the comments. But let's stop protecting language, and wear T-shirts, and improve the quality of what is produced.

And another curious point: These SPA applications that generate so much work demand per hour, are functionally smaller than the other cases in .NET, Java, PHP and Ruby on Rails with classic rendering. That is, the metric is not mine alone, the demand for consulting and hiring per hour has grown here.

I'm not saying that this is exclusive to TypeScript, but it's quite noticeable that there is a certain "passion" to solve everything with solutions that are "fashionable" or someone made a post saying that it is "revolutionary".

One of the things I really don't understand is how much "offending" speaking a certain language can be. In my post, I never criticized the language, but the "typescript guys". Any language that is overrated, or seen as a silver bullet ends up getting bloated. There are too many libraries with completely different cultures, adding absurd complexities to do simple things.

Here at my company, we work with projects in several languages. And I have noticed very clearly that the applications that generate the most rework, and demand time to understand from project to project, are the SPA. Which for me is worth just a "rant" as a developer that I am, but I'm very happy with the amount of customers that have appeared asking for help and development strength because the solution has grown to the point of making the team that created it not manage to maintain more...

They started. It's just that before finishing the manual for one, they already invent another.

The eternal IFDEF...

@netikras Oh thanks! This is the beautiful of opensource!

Shell version:

echo "rant" > /dev/null

@Sid2006 Not. Is more serverfull than traditional.

@SuspiciousBug And use, ls, find and grep to make queries.
Bonus: jq to json documents.

Romulan Tal'shiar force. But so happy.

That's what it feels like to master Ruby on Rails.

And the doctor? He was sentenced to death in a VENV, right?

1 - Java and Spring;
2 - C++ and Qt.

Difficult question. I've been using OpenSuse Leap for the past two years. I'm really enjoying it.

@retoor In fact, I'm still more comfortable with server-side rendering (JSP/PHP/Razor...). And I still haven't found any SPA frameworks that I've looked at and gone "WOW!". Vue with raw Javascript seemed very, very easy to me and in a very short time I had a good prototype (using routes, transitions, components, etc).

@thebiochemic AWESOME! AUHAHUAUHAUHAUH

I don't know if it's because I'm getting old. But creating in typescript, running webpack and the result being javascript, isn't it like writing in C++ and running a transpiler for Python? I know the comparison was very crude, but you get my point.
