How often do you use Typescript?
I’m starting to get into react native… expo. I haven’t actually used it in the 5 years I’ve been a developer
How often do you run into using it? Or mobile projects?
I mainly use Nextjs

We try to use typescript for every project.
Doesn't matter if it's nextJS, react (native) or whatever. Typescript is awesome
Is it difficult to learn? So far, idk… it kinda seems annoying. I’ve heard some popular developers call it a hassle and don’t use it.
I use it daily & have been using it for more than 5 years.
Not difficult to learn at all. Well, each person is different, but I picked it up very quickly.
It is very useful when working on a large project with a large team, as the type-safety (when used correctly) prevents a lot of misconceptions and bugs.
I would say definitely give it a fair chance to see if YOU like it or not, don't take what some other developer says as gospel.
What’s a main difference to get used to? React Native only has TS boilerplates, that’s why I’m asking.
I’m getting hang of it, in a way. But I like to mainly use APIs instead of local passing data most of the time
I’m asking because, the only “Templates” that are available from React/Expo, use Typescript. Why not JS?
From 9 to 5!
The typing helps a ton with refactoring and rewriting in general. So at work as consultant I would never go without TS.
For personal stuff I try to go without building and compiling, so usually no TS there.
What is Javascript? ...I use Typescript. LoL
All the time! The main advantage is that you get errors signaled directly in your IDE
Never
