  • TypeScript is now officially 10 years old
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Oct 2022
    Probably because it compiles them to a pre-standard ES5-compatible implementation based on good ol' `Foo.prototype`. And since they've already handled them one way, they can't become spec-compliant without breaking backwards compatibility.

    The other place where this shines through particularly egregiously is the support of ESM static import/export. Everybody's build tools been compiling that back down to CJS so hard that Node.js 16+ introduced intentional incompatibilities between CJS and ESM modes just to get people to finally switch to the standards-compliant module system. So you end up in a situation where the library is written in TypeScript with ESM syntax but the only available browser build is a CJS blob which completely defeats the main touted benefit of static imports/exports, namely dead code elimination...

    So you decide what the hell, let's switch TSC to ESM and moduleResolution node16, and end up having to use something like https://github.com/antongolub/tsc-esm-fix because the only allowed fix for TSC doing the wrong thing is at the completely wrong level - https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/esm-node.html - if you don't see what's wrong with that, you're one of today's lucky 10000...

  • Smart Contract Programming Languages: sCrypt vs. Solidity
    2 projects | dev.to | 5 Apr 2024
    Learning Curve and Developer Tooling sCrypt is an embedded Domain Specific Language (eDSL) based on TypeScript. It is strictly a subset of TypeScript, so all sCrypt code is valid TypeScript. TypeScript is chosen as the host language because it provides an easy, familiar language (JavaScript), but with type safety. There’s an abundance of learning materials available for TypeScript and thus sCrypt, including online tutorials, courses, documentation, and community support. This makes it relatively easy for beginners to start learning. It also has a vast ecosystem with numerous libraries and frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue) that can simplify development and integration with Web2 applications.

    On top of that, Vite’s compiler is super fast, supports Typescript (which we of course used), and built just fine on our host, which was Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare Pages is a super fast static website hosting service by Cloudflare, which allows your site to take advantage of their global CDN to make sure your site is as close to your users as possible. It supports nearly any JS framework you could want to use for your site, and can even host plan old HTML if you’re of that persuasion.
