    Expect to see more posts like this. With a few projects announcing they’re dropping support for TypeScript we’re going to have developers worrying that this tech that they’ve sunk so much time into is suddenly becoming obsolete, so they’re going to evangelise hard in favour of it as a defence strategy. Same thing happened when Perl went out of flavour.

      I’ve seen so many front-end libraries come and go over the 25 years I’ve been doing this. Be good at programming in general, and you can usually hop on board the incoming train pretty easily and hop off again before it goes off a cliff. You can’t really get too attached to anything in an ever changing industry.
