does anyone actually use javascript or is everyone stacking typescript on top? if so, why? feels so risky…

I'm confident enough in myself to not screw up typings for it to be worth the trouble of setting up the extra scaffolding.

Raw dogging JS is fine if you’re just moving quick and making something teeny tiny. The issue is when you want to create literally anything else. You can always use JSDOC rather than full typescript

I use js whenever the code I am editing is in js. I have used js to create massive sites in the past so I’m pretty confident in my ability to handle uncertain types. If I’m on a team of people, I don’t trust others to handle their types so ts is more useful.

Typescript. Easier on AI too since it gets helpful lints

typescript is helpful and doesn’t really change the core language. it’s programmatically stripped out on build

depending on who is involved, what dependencies may be needed and what the lifetime of the app is. With a senior crew of experienced .js devs I would personally write vanilla. there are projects that do this successfully. Fastify for example. most cases however, particularly with .js, are going to involve less experienced devs who likely have a high comfort level with .ts. pick the right tool for the job. i just wish more .ts lib devs understood *wide interface at the top, narrow at the bottom* but i digress..

For a small project/poc I’ll use JavaScript but for a biggest one I’ll definitely use TypeScript. Types can be properly defined, on long term the code will be less buggy, more simple to read and to maintain. This can be achieved by using TypeScript with SOLID principles. I think we are all aligned to say that whatever the tool, you can produce poor code but TypeScript add a real value based on my experience.
