Why I hate TypeScript

Warning: These views are highly oppinated and might have some slightly incorrect facts. My experience with typescript was about 2 weeks in Node and a week in angular2.

Not Standard

TypeScript is implementing their own take on JavaScript. Some of the things they are writing will likely never make it in an official ES* spec either.

Technologies that have competing spec / community driven development have a history of failing; take: Flash, SilverLight, CoffeeScript, the list goes on. If you have a large code base, picking TypeScript is something your going to be living with for a long time. I can take a bet in 3 years JavaScript will still be around without a doubt.

Its also worth noting that they have built some things like module system and as soon as the spec came out they ditched it and started using that. Have fun updating!

Most active GitHub users (git.io/top)

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Only first 1000 GitHub users according to the count of followers are taken. This is because of limitations of GitHub search. Sorting algo in pseudocode:

githubUsers
 .filter(user => user.followers > 1000)

# I make no guarantees that any of this is correct. I calculated this

GitHub Pages "Normal" Setup for User & Organization Pages

Let’s say your GitHub username is “alice”. If you create a GitHub repository named alice.github.com, commit a file named index.html into the master branch, and push it to GitHub, then this file will be automatically published to http://alice.github.com/... The same works for organizations.

Read more here: http://pages.github.com/

However... the downside of this is that anyone that forks this repo won't get it as a GitHub Pages repo when they are working on it... because they have a different GitHub "username" (or "organisation name").

So the trick is to not use a master branch as the documentation tells you... rather, use a gh-pages branch, as you would for your other "Project Pages".
