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

its like js but with extra steps WHY NOT USING TS then?

    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.
