yeah if you are serving a different character sequence as js to your clients than you're looking at in your editor you need source maps and you need to know basically how to make them work. doesn't matter if it's typescript or any Babel thing or flow or even loving fable for that matter.

still paralyzed by indecision lol

i've done a complete and utter 180 on the file extension thing in the space of like 2hrs because there's a whole bunch of poo poo like jsx or es2015 or type annotations that you can mix and match into your toolchain and you're not going to stick all those things into the file extension

flow is also strictly just a type checker. there is a completely separate babel plugin that just strips out all the type annotations without checking them. and you slot that in amongst all the other babel plugins that implement jsx, transpile es2017 down to es5, do the css import magic, etc etc. this feels very right on a fundamental level.

typescript is a transpiler, and you then feed its output into another transpiler (babel). ts has a lot of overlap with what babel does but babel is a lot more powerful. this seems strictly worse than the way that flow does its thing and it bugs the crap out of me.

e: oh and i got it to compile and something went wrong at runtime but it spit out a backtrace showing the typescript-transpiled code instead of my typescript code. naaaa gently caress this, flow it is. i'll hold my nose and deal with atom i guess. urgh.

i probably wouldn't judge a language based purely on how elegantly it fits into my build pipeline

how long is it gonna take y'all to learn emacs is the one true path
also if someone is interested in emacs i would heavily recommend spacemacs (emacs w/ sperges managing your config for you)
