We use TypeScript for our node.js backends.

We had two that started out vanilla, but it became too painful to maintain.

Writing code that can’t be scientifically proven to be correct on all hardware it might run on means you don’t care about code quality. /s

The Internet is full of people with a bloated ego trying to justify their opinion and gatekeeping others.

I see this more and more in software as well.

Not sure if it’s always been like this, or if I just notice it more.

Same way there’s thousands of people giving you a guide to write a task list in , but as soon as you want to use anything slightly more complex than what you can learn from working a few hours with something you quickly run out of material and is usually left to fend for yourself.

I see this a lot with a significant portion of my colleagues, maybe around 30%.

Personally I don’t feel like it’s a big issue for me, but on the other hand I’ve been working mostly in Python (snake_casing) for the last six years.

That said I do see people having issues with it even in Python, so it’s not like snake casing cures the issue.

Always lowercase gets a downvote from me though.
