A comment on New TypeScript Website.

Oh Microsoft marketing.

“The new version of the website was built out of a desire to make the documentation for TypeScript feel as expansive as its type-system, ”

I don’t know if I would call it “expansive”. I’d call it modern, powerful, efficient.

I say this thinking that most web developers view type systems as constraining, the opposite of expansive.

By picking on such an inconsequential bullet point, it almost seems like you picked the first thing that you could use, no matter how tenuous, to trojan-horse in the age-old dynamic- vs static-typing debate. ;)

BTW: ironically I’m in the middle of porting a Node/React project to Typescript and wishing fervently that I had started before I created so much crappy code to convert.

It’s the classic war of eternity.

But seriously, marketing is about using the exact right words, and this seemed sloppy.

Still, excited about the new site.
