Hello friends,
A Harbour developer is used to working in a strongly data- and procedure-oriented style, often with clear, linear flows and fewer layers of abstraction. From this perspective, TypeScript can feel like an unnecessary academization of JavaScript. The concern is that one might spend more time dealing with type constructs than actually solving the core problem. There is also the impression of having to secure things twice: once logically in the code itself and once formally within the type system. In addition, the dependency on a toolchain — compiler, Node, bundler — may be perceived as unnecessary complexity, especially for someone who has previously worked comfortably without a build process.
Best regards, Otto
