I think Rich Harris famously migrated Svelte from TypeScript to JSDoc, while still supporting TypeScript via JSDoc. I don’t use Svelte, so I have no idea how well this works in practice. However, Rick Harris seems smart to me, unlike other overly opinionated devs like DHH. I still wouldn’t use JSDoc over TS, but I guess if it works for your project, who cares. What matters is that we all remember the one true enemy, DHH

I would actually love to hear the rationale behind migrating from TypeScript to JSDoc. Mind boggling to me.
Especially nowadays when there is promising work towards very fast, Rust-based TypeScript tooling, which web devs are in love with.
So yah, very interesting.
But yeah, DHH 🖕🖕
