stgewehr | 5 years ago | on: Porting a React Front End to TypeScript
It seems that I fundamentally misunderstand the benefits of TypeScript.
I found myself spending hours and hours on reading the type errors stacktraces and adding types for libraries. Writing TS code takes 2x time than simple JS... and it is extremely painful experience.
In comparison to many old plain JS projects I did - it simply doesn’t make any sense, the TS solves problems which I haven’t experienced at all.
