I continue to be baffled and amused by the complete meltdown of the typescript community over the actions of a single man on a single package. The only people who have legitimate gripes are those that had been actively contributing and whose work was erased. The rest of you are acting absurdly childish. The anger and vitriol being thrown at anyone who disagrees on how to write javascript would make me embarrassed if I was associated or involved in the ts community.

Start here https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/972 and then https://github.com/hotwired/turbo/pull/973

Tldr someone moved a popular repo from typescript to JavaScript, the negative response was quite overwhelming.

The fact is that I actually rather like JavaScript. I'd go so far as to say it's my second favorite language after Ruby. Yes, a distant second, but a second none the less. This wasn't always the case. But after we got proper classes in JavaScript, and all the other improvements that flowed since ES6, it's become a real joy to write.

Is it just me or is the tone here unnecessarily aggressive?
