Putting types everywhere. Does it help? Are benefits worth an effort? What to choose — Flow or TypeScript?
Primary idea of talk is to share experience of personal war vs typed Javascript and what caveats are on the way, how much it will cost to you and what benefits and profits (both from dev and business point of view) it provides
We will speak just a bit about TypeScript (why we rejected it) and then examine the existing FlowType ecosystem. Come to this talk to understand that FlowType is not «yet another TypeScript», what are the main challenges of typings and why could someone commit into that.
