@bennycode cause typescript sounds cool on my resume ofc βœŒοΈπŸ˜„ On a serious note: Type safety because i definitely don't want someone passing a string to my js func which accepts num for some computation

@0xj4web I often hire web developers, and having TypeScript on the CV is definitely a strong advantage. πŸ‘ Good luck with your interviews. 😁

@bennycode It becomes a hazzle debugging a code you didn't write without Typescript. Leads to cleaner code and easier maintenance. Right now I see no reason not to use Typescript or something of the likes.

@Praiz_DcoDer Absolutely! Bringing in an external library without proper types is like self destruction. It's great to know that TypeScript is proving useful to you. 😊

@oliverwebr You nailed it in 3 words! ✌️ I value errors at design/compile time a lot over having my users finding them at runtime. 😌

@fgbyte I agree! Are you using TypeScript's watch mode and Vitest?

@bennycode I use TypeScript because it brings stronger type checking to JavaScript, enhancing code quality and reducing bugs.

@tausif4171 I can't agree more! Your pitch could easily sell as an advertisement. 😁 It's great to hear that you're enjoying coding with TypeScript. Are you building some fun projects with it?

@OGreeni1 That's cool. I hope? How many people are working on the same codebase? Are you using it in large scale applications?

@bennycode Because it gives you so much more confidence in your own code that it’ll work. An ex colleague of mine once said, it’s like a co-worker looking over your shoulder, instantly telling you you’ve made a mistake when you made one.

@ManuelBieh It actually reminds me on my math teacher but I am fully with you (and your co-worker). πŸ˜… I find it also cool that TypeScript can transpile code into different versions of ECMAScript.
