There was some chit-chat on Twitter this weekend about using the sweet.js
[1] macro processor in Cordova. Somehow. Not quite sure how. Also, a - I
believe trolling - mention of using TypeScript [2]. Somehow.
I'd be interested in hearing more about either.
w/r/t TypeScript - note that Isaac Schlueter has mentioned using TypeScript
with node.js [3]:
"It’d be a great idea to write up a TypeScript header file
for the API surface in Node. Then, we could automatically
test for API deviations, validate and flesh out our
documentation, etc. Static typing does confer some very
relevant value."
I spent a frustrating couple of hours writing code with TypeScript - didn't
come away impressed; but as an interface definition language - maybe. Not
sure what the reflective capabilities are there in terms of the output tho.
