  ➕ React Native is a good instrument for creating minimal viable products. Why? Again, because of JavaScript which is easy, known, and loved by everyone. Though, in the long run, we would suggest using TypeScript instead of JavaScript.

  And Typescript's compiler API but I don't think it's exactly what you'd want. But i've never looked at it so idk. https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Using-the-Compiler-API

• Typescript development with emacs
  reddit.com/r/emacs | 2021-06-12

  There are several refactorings supported by typescript language server, extract function, rename, move function to separate file(most likely they are much more). When there is a code action/refactoring available at the current position lsp-mode will show an indicator in the modeline. Once MS fixes https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/39459 I believe that the emacs via language server will have the same refactorings as vscode.

• ES5 compatibility?
  reddit.com/r/learnjavascript | 2021-06-09

  Usually people will use transpilers like babel or TypeScript to allow them to write modern code with all the new features* while still being able to deploy ES5-compatible code. This way what feature/syntax you use doesn't matter. You can use all the new stuff - or even things that aren't part of the language like types and JSX - and still end up with working JS code in the end.

• Why wont VSCode autocomplete a type with defined values
  reddit.com/r/typescript | 2021-06-08

  Correct, https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/33471 covers the issue.

  Yeah, the TS Playground uses Monaco Editor, which indeed is a core component of VS Code. The auto completions system works very similarly there, using a language service.
