To TypeScript or Not to TypeScript - JSJ 538

JavaScript Jabber

Today we talk with Matt Pocock, who comes from Oxfordshire, England. As a big fan of TypeScript and maintainer of the Xstate library, we discuss the benefits and downsides of TypeScript. As the discussion gets a bit heated, we debate the true value of TypeScript, and where it holds value to the programming community.
