On the current typescript / anti-typescript internet drama I saw someone mention javascript without a build step.

Do you think we're already there?

Last time I attempted it:

  • there were too many libraries I couldn't import
  • JSX (using babel) had a warning saying you shouldn't do it in the browser for production
  • there was some advice against not using a bundler, because several requests for different .js files is slower and bigger than a bundled package

That's litterally less step. It's just a comment above a function. How is that more steps?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't mind build step but this is objectively less steps.

In typescript you dont comment before there you see the variable name and that (should be enough) and the type is there...
