Is it possible to do these things in plain JavaScript?
Yes, these concepts can be applied in plain JavaScript! TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, meaning it adds type checking and features like type guards on top of JavaScript's existing functionality. The examples involving Promises, async/await, and Worker Threads work just the same in plain JavaScript. The main advantage of TypeScript is the added type safety, which helps catch errors during development. For instance, Type Guards ensure type correctness at runtime. If you're working on a large-scale project, this can make a significant difference.
All JS libraries are written in plain JS
There is almost no typescript involved, except for the private fields, so why does this title include typescript and not JavaScript?
Thanks for pointing that out, Glenn! The title focuses on TypeScript because of the type safety and private fields highlighted here. I’ll keep this balance in mind for future posts, appreciate your input!!!😊
thank you
there is almost a typescript
Interesting, nice article!
So happy you liked it! Means a lot😊
so happy to see that
Great article.
So happy to hear you enjoyed it!🖤
Well Tbh Parallelism isn't really possible with JavaScript/Typescript....you would have to look to languages like C++
You're right, Nathaniel! True parallelism isn’t JavaScript/TypeScript’s strong suit since they’re single-threaded by nature. However, we can achieve something close using Web Workers or Node.js Worker Threads for tasks like CPU-intensive operations. It’s not on the same level as C++'s multithreading but works well within JS’s ecosystem...😅
i am prob the girl with the m16 after trying to learn this!
Thanks, Hannah! 😄 That’s the spirit of learning something challenging, fighting through it like a pro!!! Keep going, and you’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish...Trust me😉😉
