Typescript is just Javascript with a few extra features sprinkled ontop such as static types instead of Javascripts dynamic, this makes it a lot easier to develop software with. It’s still very much Javascript though, and my comment was a bit of a gaff

I, an intellectual, use typescript.

I unwrap like a mad man while building a proof of concept. It’s the same as approaching say a multithreaded program. You always get the single thread to work first and then worry about adding thread handling later.

Same as result and option handling, that’s for when I want to stabilise my code before finalising for release.

I don’t think you need to have the largest following to have great value, even lemmy as it is right now feels great. I’ll actually want to dive into comment sections compared to the endless scrolling on reddit.

As long as there’s enough people using a platform for a variety of ideas and experience in topics, I think that’s good enough for me.

I didn’t think it was short, I think it was almost the perfect length. I want more digestible experiences, a 2hr game that’s got a well told narrative is worth so much more to me than a 100hr grind fest.

I agree with everything else you said, I was deeply moved by it and even teared up at times
