Open source hooliganism and the TypeScript meltdown

I agree with him. The typescript community is very unprofessional for going around spamming repos because some project they don&#x27;t use or contribute too has removed their favorite language from the project.<p>Believe it or not, but JS vs TS really comes down to personal preference. Turbo is for client side JS and it used in a Ruby framework. Why is it so surprising that Ruby programmers want their other code built in a dynamic language?<p>If you work decades in a dynamic language you get good at maintaining, debugging, and developing in dynamic languages.

It&#x27;s YouTuber clowns marshalling their fanbase of teenage kids who quite literally do not have fully developed brains yet. Very embarrassing indeed.

Developer drama on twitter was always tiring but it&#x27;s gotten so much worse since direct financial incentives for high engagement came into play

Standard behaviour of a Youtube influencer.

I think some of the vitriol hurled was over the top, especially given that folks can just fork the project and move on -- isn&#x27;t that the whole point of OSS? If it were a closed source product it wouldn&#x27;t have even necessitated much of an announcement. Disregarding the specifics of who worked on this, I think this sort of reaction can only be discouraging to OSS maintainers as a whole (much as I agree that the change wasn&#x27;t handled great).

I don&#x27;t remember Svelte getting nearly as much blowback when they removed TypeScript from that project.

And they said Rails was a Ghetto…
