You know we’ve reached peak bloat and stupidity when JavaScript web apps have a compilation step, and I don’t mean JIT.
I’d rather take a compile step than having no type safety in JS, even as a user.
Except... the compilation step doesn't add type safety to JS.
As an aside, type safety hasn't been something I truly miss in JS, despite how often it's mentioned.
I think they are talking about typescript which is compiled into javascript
Ok, that could be true. I assumed they meant the "building" phase that some frameworks go through.
