1) Which type of switch do you prefer in mechanical keyboards?
2) Will you ever try/use a Ducky keyboard?
3) I do not like typescript. I feel that types(to that extreme) should be used on compiler languages and not interpreted languages. What is your take on typescript and do you use it?
I am not a fan of clickiness, so I have pretty quiet switches. My 60% has cherry browns, my MiniVan has purple kailh pros. My ortho niu-40 has cherry browns as well, but I don't use this keyboard very much (because of the ortho part not the switches part).
I don't know what a Ducky keyboard is! I don't really have an allegiance to brands of keyboards. My 60% is a gk-64 because it's the best keyboard (for me) that I have found. The Minivan I picked because I wanted a staggered 40%, and this was the best option I could find.
I had some pretty negative feelings about TypeScript when I started using it, but after a while I came to this conclusion:
I think TypeScript is great if you're developing a library. Having the confidence that the types you expect in a function are the types you're using is pretty great, and it has absolutely caught bugs for me that I wouldn't have seen for a while. A lot of the code I'm writing nowadays isn't very testable, so I'll take anything that makes me slightly more confident that a user won't file a bug that a function I wrote doesn't work. I mean, it probably won't work for other reasons, but it's not because I miswrote the API, at least
I think TypeScript sucks for writing small apps, and all the demos I build are in JavaScript. Sometimes you have to write some hacks, and TypeScript is not really keen on hacks, and I'm not really keen on fighting with it.
Hello,
Here are some random questions:
1) Which type of switch do you prefer in mechanical keyboards? 2) Will you ever try/use a Ducky keyboard? 3) I do not like typescript. I feel that types(to that extreme) should be used on compiler languages and not interpreted languages. What is your take on typescript and do you use it?
