Consider migrating to TypeScript #88

Closed mfellner closed 7 years ago

mfellner commented 7 years ago

What

Consider migrating all codebase to TypeScript.

Why

Especially with larger, multi-package projects Flow has some drawbacks over TypeScript:

sharing of type definitions is cumbersome (Flow cannot export type definitions of libraries)
flow type definitions are checked into the repository and bloat pull-requests
fewer type definitions for third-party modules exist
flow-check is slow
Only Atom provides comprehensive type checking in a text editor

Notes

Existing Flow-typed projects can use TypeScript definitions using https://github.com/joarwilk/flowgen.
