JSDoc is much more cumbersome than using TypeScript. That's it. It clutters the code in a way that TypeScript somehow avoids. TS types are smoothly integrated in the code itself, IMO. Not as much the case with JSDoc.

Thanks! As a hardware guy it'll be a long time before I do anything with this information. Nice to hear the opinions of actual Devs.

I suspect most Lemmy users hating on JS haven’t done much professional JS work. Especially these days with TypeScript and all the modern conveniences.

I’m curious, what kinda hardware do you work on?

[–] biggeoff@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Digital hardware, mainly top-level design in verilog and associated checks using python/perl (sad)

Right now working on a GPU which is fun!
