Re:TypeScript Seals My Penchant for JavaScript

Standard is a very nice style and makes for very readable code, especially for those with more of a functional background. (Standard makes JS [and TS too with tslint-config-standard] feel a lot more like the OCaml relative that it is.)
Just because you don't like the name, don't think it is "popular", doesn't mean that no one is using it or likes it. (I like it a lot, personally.)
This bears repeating whenever the so-called "Standard" js style is mentioned, lest any readers think that it's actually a standard that people use. It's not. Every time it's been introduced on HN, it's been roundly criticized for the name and the lack of semi-colons.
I'm not here to argue about semi-colons. But again, for anybody who missed it - the so-called "Standard" js style is NOT a standard, it's not even a de-facto standard and it's not even popular at all. Don't use it.
