I continue to be baffled and amused by the complete meltdown of the typescript community over the actions of a single man on a single package. The only people who have legitimate gripes are those that had been actively contributing and whose work was erased. The rest of you are acting absurdly childish. The anger and vitriol being thrown at anyone who disagrees on how to write javascript would make me embarrassed if I was associated or involved in the ts community.
They not only removed typescript without implementing an alternative breaking many projects depending on that library but they did it without informing the open source community which means many people who invested their time in making PRs (there was 60+ open PRs) have to basically completely redo their work.
Yes, and the people directly contributing to the project have legitimate gripes. Although, the parable of dhh is if you get on an asshole scorpions back, don't be surprised if you get stung. Dudes been an unreasonable prick for nearly 20 years now.
My comments directed at the manufactured outrage from the tooling zealots incapable of having a mature conversation. Or even accept a difference of opinion. The number of comments that start with, "never heard of Turbo, but let me weigh in on why you're an idiot for not liking Typescript. " is very telling...
Which project is this? So, the project owner did this?
Ah, it's Turbo
To be fair, how could you not believe that he was gonna go Turbo?
Ootl, what's going on? I haven't read anything
Start here https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/972 and then https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/973
Tldr someone moved a popular repo from typescript to JavaScript, the negative response was quite overwhelming.
Ahahahahahahaha! 😂
Is it just me or is the tone here unnecessarily aggressive?
(Read the PR to understand)
Cheers

Sorry, I'm out of the loop. Can you ELI5 what happened/what even is going on with TS?
Nothing is actually going on with typescript. This guy who's a big name in programming for creating a lot of good things and having a lot of shitty opinions just removed typescript from one of their projects and some folks are desperate to make that be a big news.
They removed typescript because they saw no benefit in using it. Then a lot of folks who can't deal with typescript got excited because "hey someone is trashing that thing I hate".

Maybe DHH influential and many will follow in his footsteps
Yeah, hopefully. Because walking around in a foreign country without any kind of navigation is a pure joy.
