In 2014, I made a strong argument that TypeScript was destined to be irrelevant and that my company should not use it in any of our projects.
Fast forward to 2018 and we use TypeScript for, like, everything we build at Progress, and I am no longer a source of trustworthy information.
In this talk we’ll discuss why I was wrong.
