Echilibrul JavaScript/TypeScript

We're now firmly in the TypeScript era. 67% of respondents stated they write more TypeScript than JavaScript code – while the single largest group consisted of people who only write TypeScript.

Compiled Code Balance

It should come as no surprise that in 2024, almost all of our JavaScript code goes through a build step. While bundlers and build tools certainly add complexity to our development process, they are most likely here to stay.

Modele de aplicații

Despite modern JavaScript meta-frameworks now supporting intricate rendering strategies, the most common application patterns remained the most traditional ones: single-page apps and server-side rendering.

Puncte slabe în JavaScript

Code architecture is always a concern once a codebase gets past a certain size, so it makes sense that it topped the rankings of overall JavaScript pain points, followed by state and dependency management.

Funcționalități lipsă

While the lack of native static typing has long been felt by the community, it's interesting to see Signals making an entrance at number 3 on this list, despite not being part of the most popular front end framework.

Native Types

It's clear that survey respondents want native types, and that they hope to seem them implemented with a TypeScript-like syntax.

This year's question phrasing sadly did not make a clear distinction between runtime types and TypeScript-like type-as-annotations, so it remains to be seen which of these two paths will gain the community's favor.

How would you like to see native types implemented in JavaScript?
