Learning Node.js and React while building a product

If your team is from a .NET background, you may be better off using something with first class Typescript support.

I have been working on a boilerplate that uses VueJS with typescript. It is still reactive. I setup the UI to closely mirror the structure of a .NET MVC app. It is much more intuitive to me coming from a strongly typed OO background.

The boilerplate is not fully done yet, but here is the UI portion if you'd like to browse the structure: https://github.com/caleblloyd/dotnet-core-boilerplate/tree/d...

There are a lot of people using Typescript with React... it's not so bad, I don't see the point nearly as much as some, but it's definitely there, and pretty well supported.

I tried typescript with react, but found that I was constantly adding `: any` when dealing with `props` and `dispatch`. It felt like it was getting in the way more than it was helping.

You could specify them though, or not do `: any` which iirc is implicit?

We also have a strong JavaScript background. Preferring JavaScript instead of TypeScript.

Cool, nice idea for the project!
