If you extend Javascript with Typescript as many compilers or frameworks do, it does not almost feels barbaric I think, it can even looks like writing Java but less verbosely.

and you are doing a solid year too!
I am a big fan of open source and our editor for slides, DeckDeckGo, is of course such piece of software too. As it became quite a mono repo, my contributions count grown too 😁.
Typescript is on my list to "re-learn" after I learned it but then did not use it because the job I was in at the time did not require it 😅 How many companies these days are looking for developers that use Typescript? I still keep finding jobs that just ask for Javascript.
I recently changed job position and at least here in Switzerland/Zurich I was surprised at how many companies are now asking for it (we also have a lot of Angular jobs here). There are many banking/financial/pharma/insurance companies, and TypeScript seems really popular now, more so than three years ago when I was last looking, especially in the higher-paying positions.
After 7+ years of writing java/kotlin/swift and other strongly typed languages it almost feels barbaric coming back to javascript.
I really tried to like these cross platform frameworks that are built on top of JS but i just can't enjoy the programming experience.
Fortunately, more and more languages are becoming cross platform (kotlin comes to mind) and in the end it will not matter what language you choose.

That being said, Rust looks cool!
I'm also playing with TypeScript at the moment, I enjoy both, but Rust just feels very cool imo. Looking forward to making and sharing something soon.
I almost only use Javascript when I debug or write Gatsby websites, otherwise, always Typescript.
You earned a new follower, looking forward to some intro to Rust blog posts, it is definitely on my "I should give it a try" TODO list 😉.
Thank you! I definitely plan to do some JS to Rust style posts. This was a very cool intro to Rust (github.com/rust-lang/rustlings).
Just check out that repo and you will be learning Rust immediately in the CLI, very nice intro experience to a new language.
Awesome!!! Thank you Michael, I'll check it out 🙏.
@daviddalbusco your contribution count on GitHub is looking solid!

Yeah people from a Java C++ background might feel comfy with TS instead of JS
I have a prior long java experience, can't deny it 😉

Angular and Stencil are both using per default Typescript. Companies using these are de facto using it.
React, Vue, Svelte (probably), Gatsby etc. can be used with Typescript. Therefore I would say that at least some companies are using it 😉.
P.S.: isn't Vue 3 event written with Typescript too?
Valid points looks like I should join the party 😁
To infinity and beyond 🚀
