TypeScript

Is supporting TypeScript a thing you are interested in?

Hi, @brillout!

Right now, supporting TypeScript is not a goal for me. It's clearly very popular, so I'm sure I'll come around to it someday, but for now I don't want to have to learn the type system and how to make it happy. 😁 It feels like a lot of extra effort and trouble for not enough value.

For situations when I need type checking / validation, I've been liking the approach in schema-fns. It's all just functions, so it gives me full control while not forcing me to learn a new syntax.

I thought the same and, boy, was I wrong.

Bite the bullet ;-).

gonna hold out for a little longer 😉

if i had to guess, i think once the Deno ecosystem matures, that'll be what finally pulls me into TypeScript.
