When anyone in a professional setting says they don't like having a mega corp supporting something I lose a bit of respect for their opinion tbh.
Yes we all know mega corps suck.
But if you're using anything in a professional production environment that is meant to last in the long term this is 100% what you want.
Some of us are old enough to remember the browser wars and EEE, so I definitely understands not wanting to be sucked into some mega corps eco system with future lock-ins. Often you can't do anyhhing else, but that doesn't mean it doesn't suck.
Same. Writing sites that relied on IE was always a stupid decision and kinda invalidated the point of writing a web app.
I think most people knew that and the managers fucked up big time pushing it. At least in my experience.
But that's very different to choosing a programming language.
I mean it is fair to say sometimes it depends on the mega corp, if the whole thing relies on one corp if they're funding dries up then the whole project dies. But I also don't really think typescript would die without Microsoft now
