Great Video. In the past I really hated typescript. It required tons of setup just to make it run in Node. And I had to go through lots of hoops to solve problems that could be solved with just basic object and check null values all the time. But I've been working on some really big back-end apps, much larger than the apps I had made in the past. And JS simply didn't cut it. I constantly forgot about types that functions received, (It didn't helped that the app required 256 bits BigInts and hex numbers as strings and tons of complex coin conversion). The moment that the app doesn't fit in your head, you start needing help with the types. Even if you safe proof everything with functional wrappers. I use typescript all the time now. The fact that Bun made the setup nonexistent and the deployment automatic with the right docker configuration really helped.

As an Pascal/Delphi developer for more than 25 years I have to say, I love strong types! Then, I love typescript, and I have happy to know is the typescript made for a Delphi creator Anders Hejlsberg ;). Greate video Max!

As a C++ Engineer, JavaScript wouldn't even be an option. I'm picking up some Web Dev now and TS is the only reason why I actually decided to learn some things. JS would be a too big of a stretch for me.

I fully agree that every JavaScript developer should learn TypeScript, but not necessarily use it. I only learnt it and use it for projects I am working on which are already in TypeScript. When starting a project myself and If the choice were mine to make, I would choose JavaScript. Although I have to admit that the more I learn and develop in TypeScript, the more I kinda enjoy it. I kind of see the appeal to it. It still gets frustrating at some times though.

I have a question, if a project doesn't use typescript, couldn't I just use Typescript and deploy the compiled javascript? 🤔

Thank you Max, you have been a great teacher to me and I agree with your opinion.

I remember trying TypeScript initially and then getting frustrated with it. I believe that if you write your code well enough, JavaScript should suffice. JS docs is another option. Thankfully, I was able to figure out the TypeScript type errors and now all is well. I’m still on the fence as to whether I will fully adopt TypeScript

Just wondering. You have courses on academind and on udemy. The courses on udemy stay forever when bought and are way cheaper than the ones on academind. Is there any reason not to buy them on udemy? I mean the flat (25$/month) on academind makes sense, but once I stop i wont have any access on the courses right?

Yes. But you do have access to all courses and not just one. Different models for different purposes / requirements. By the way, if you buy individual courses on our platform they also stay yours forever

This is the point when I leave the JS world! There are only 24 hours in a day...but even if there were 28, there is no way one can learn all this shit that is the JS ecosystem. Webdev has become waaay too complex. Especially the SPA and frontend space. I heavily gravitating toward back to good old server side rendering, with some HTML over the wire. Soooo much simpler.

Now it feels awkward to coding with JavaScript

if only it was implemented right, did you know that you cannot enforce interfaces??? that's a downside and for that I blame javascript in general, it's a bad language..
