the transition will be worth it though... a lot of bugs hide in wibbly wobbly dynamic types 

 Yeah, I'm a convert to types 

 Pivot to rust 

 RUST

tempted

 Typescript sucks. Come to Kotlin. :)  

 Does it compile to html 

 It's a whole thing: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/js-overview.html  

 There is a wasm target as well. Jetbrains is just doing everything these days... 

They are even doing native (arm + x86) with C bindings...  

 Wow, that's pretty surprising. Is kotlin better than rust? I have zero exposure to kotlin 

 For applications, I think so. Rust is too low level for apps. Reading Rust is painful. 

 noone told me! 

 Come to kotlin, Will. :)  

 ew 

 Kotlin is the way. 

 Sure if you’re on the jvm 

 Oh yeah, jvm. If I were to go java, I'd use clojure 

 I do like functional programming but dynamic langs still scare me for large apps 

 I'm afraid now that I've embraced types I won't be able to go back 😢 

 Kotlin supports types. And it has proper null checks unlike Java 

 I used it for a web app a few years ago.

Was not good as frameworks like Svelte. But also was somewhat better than writing raw JS 

 Kotlin compiles to native :)  

 no one 

 when amethyst for web? 

 cast everything in line 62,000 to 'any' 

 It's a runtime failure 😂😂😂

 is tsc failing in typescript own code? 

 yuhp 

 finally you are a real programmer
