       I'm really tired of hearing folks ramble on about how good TypeScript is (compared to what, JavaScript's subterranean bar?). What about tsconfig.json configuration files and the feverish nightmare land where Node and React intersect with TypeScript, CommonJS & ES Modules? Are we all supposed to pretend this isn't wasting years of combined human lives?Don't even get me started on the JS/TS community's knack for deleting config file comments.

       It's also hilarious to me that the solution to a bunch of protracted compilation issues due to modules was to eventually settle with a moduleResolution config value called "Bundler". I mean you can't make that shit up.

       @olivierlacan Also, TypeScript is a project controlled by Microsoft. So, I'm kinda concerned about them doing what they've been doing to .NET/C# eventually.

       @camertron I think the best part are the issue comments and SO posts going “add type: module” to your package.json”, “no I can’t it breaks this other CJS thing”, “ok what about Node16? ESNext??”The interplay of about 3 out of 100 config values alone are causing a perpetual pile up in this ecosystem and I guess that’s just how it goes now? So much for “hey at least we get to write JS everywhere now”.

       @olivierlacan omg yeah. The other day I wanted to write a quick node script but gave up after an hour of trying to get modules to work *at all*. After renaming the file to .cjs and then trying .mjs and then trying require... I just gave up and wrote it in Ruby.

       @olivierlacan 😂I feel like JavaScript can get away with all this because they're the only game in town for the browser. But damn, they aren't even trying.
