npm by default: When I tried Deno ~1-2 years ago - I immediately shinned myself on this and decided to wait for more sensible defaults. (I've not followed closely, just the basic story)
And reading the features, I'm impressed! - I spot many commands & features that map to my workflow.
Hard agree. I've used xml directives before, all the way back to Macromedia Flex (which I believe borrowed form something in the Java space, which probably borrowed from something else).
I'll likely NEVER use anything that doesn't let me run JSX.
My personal preference is for complexity at the start of the render pipeline (e.g. in state) or at the end (e.g, in JSX).
So I personally dislike complex hooks composition, but I can live with it. (My) teams seem to like it. I'd rather have boilerplate of redux, or redux sagas - or a S.O.L.I.D framework + scaffolding tools, and turn the composition of logic part of my brain off.
But the context switch to maintaining scaffolding tools is perhaps a bit of a jump.
As an aside: I'm shocked to see Yeoman largely diminished in activity, and Hygen (https://github.com/jondot/hygen) not getting anywhere near enough love as it deserves etc.
Perhaps there is some, first-class macro or meta programming or combination of the two that is missing. Or maybe its hard to invest in tools you can't necessarily take from job to job - as scaffolding tools are capturing opinion.
This does not necessarily invalidate your wider points, but just FYI:
> It does not interop with JavaScript.
Hm, this depends on your definition of "interop". My JavaScript and TypeScript are languages that exchange information. The execution model ultimately involves JavaScript when I use tsc, but ultimately it also includes an interpreter. My user-space syntax doesn't care.
> There is no such thing as a TypeScript runtime engine.
Its pretty simple to work out if the touchscreens were a step-back: ask the operators.
BACK-DROP: Many commentators blame the USS Fitzgerald squarely at the feet of budgetary uncertainty, leading to severely depleted crews. Researching it now, the coverage I think must of been largely by this guy
