TypeScript

“And the interesting thing with, like, the agent stuff is people use their TypeScript SDK a lot more because they're not actually doing anything that needs ML.”

“We have a feature called dynamic workflows where you can have it like also break down the task into like a lot of subtasks. And I trusted it to sort of not just do the individual action, but here's like a whole language conversion of millions of hundreds of th…”

“And I trusted it to sort of not just do the individual action, but here's like a whole language conversion of millions of hundreds of thousands of lines of code at that point. Go off and do it, go plan it, go execute it, go verify the work, double verify the w…”

“I think this year is the year that TypeScript overtook Python in the GitHub survey, and I didn't really foresee that coming.”

“Everyone who's building this stuff, everyone who's building chat applications is mostly doing it. If you're concerned about UX, you're concerned about shipping great stuff, you're mostly doing it in TypeScript. At least that's what I see.”

“I think it could be that TypeScript is going to win AI engineering, and that's something I haven't anticipated or seen, or I don't even know how to sort of Position around this, because I think it really does mean a lot of different things for what frameworks …”

“TypeScript is an amazing language for AI because there's tons of training data. In the models and it's strongly typed. And actually at the company, we built most of the stack in TypeScript, and we have this amazing property, which is we have type safety all th…”

“When we started building this new agent code base, like, as we were saying, like, we were answering the question, what would you do if you built a, you know, a Brex disruptor today? And it's like, it wouldn't be to pick Kotlin and Elixir as the backend. And so…”

“We feel pretty strongly in like high structure allows for agents to work autonomously for longer. And so our default stack is TypeScript front end TypeScript back end with a shared file where, or a shared folder where all of our shared types and schemas and th…”

“So look, I think this is the magic of vibe coding. You can explore all of these things. You don't have to become an expert in convex. You don't have to become an expert in TypeScript. You can just try it.”

“I think the sort of core part of Shopify with all the like, minor stuff like the identity system and all these kind of things is like, 20 million lines of code, and then the TypeScript written admin interface is like another, I think eight, nine, 10 every reas…”

“Inside of this code base, which I can show in a second, I'm using TypeScript, I have a linter set up, I have formatting set up, I have tests, And all of those things, the agent can read its own outputs and then just self-correct and fix itself without me havin…”

“There's one controversial take for me working with LLMs is don't use TypeScript. Use plain JavaScript. Use JSX. It's easier for models to write code this way.”

“So for like the front end and the back end, it's been in TypeScript. And then for the mobile app because we want it to be like more platform agnostic across, you know, iOS as well as Android use React Native and using Expo for that.”

“I still remain very bullish web developers and JavaScript world, TypeScript world, even though we have, like, a ton of usage from Python but there's so many web developers, and it's easier and easier to use LLMs. I really think that you need to cater to these …”

“I think there's going to be a next programming language after Python and TypeScript and Rust and Rust in itself, you know wasn't really a thing five years ago. And then, so there's going to be more languages that are probably closer to human language and to be…”

“I will tell you now as an investor, if a company comes in the door and they're building a product, it's almost certainly going to be, you know, built natively for the web using JavaScript and TypeScript. And like the majority of functionality is like some thir…”

“Basically what we came up with, it's essentially you just write a TypeScript function and you document your TypeScript function with JSDoc. And then we extract all the information from there and basically make that and pass that information to the LLMs.”

“Yeah, I mean, we have, like, there's an open source project even I think it's, I forget, like, it's the same set of folks who did all the type TypeScript stuff who are working on this. So what we're trying to do is essentially take memory and schematize it and…”

“I use TypeScript for managing headless browsers and puppeteer library. I use Go language for rate limiting, managing API keys, and so on. I use Cloudflare for storing screenshots as an API gateway to my product.”

“At the time, and still, like, AI is sort of at least nominally dominated by Python, but product building is dominated by TypeScript.”

“First of all a vast majority of our customers use TypeScript and, you know, early on, some of our customers were dealing with, like, should we use TypeScript or Python? And some teams were using TypeScript, some teams were using Python. Now, almost everyone, i…”

“Another thing is that TypeScript as a language is inherently better suited for AI workloads because of the type system. So the type system basically allows you to launder, you know, the crazy stuff that comes out of an AI model into a well-defined structure th…”

“I saw some paper that used TypeScript notation instead of JSON notation for tool calling and it got a lot better performance.”

“Much to my, you know, horror, the story around creating web applications is much worse now than it was 10 or 15 years ago, in terms of, like, if I say to a data scientist, here's how to create and deploy a web application, You know, either you have to learn Ja…”

“We don't use GraphQL. So we've got the types defined in Python. That's the source of truth. And we go from the open API spec and there's a tool that you can use to generate types dynamically, like TypeScript types from those opening API definitions.”

“For what it's worth at Stripe, we write a lot of code in Ruby. We write a lot of code in other languages like Java and TypeScript as well, but our kind of core infrastructure is mostly implemented in core product infrastructure, mostly implemented in Ruby.”
