▲ 32 ▼ Are we ready for javascript without a build step on the front end in 2023? (lemmy.fbmac.net) submitted 2 years ago by fbmac@lemmy.fbmac.net to c/programming@programming.dev 48 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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

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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Rooki@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago In typescript you dont comment before there you see the variable name and that (should be enough) and the type is there... permalink fedilink source parent
