Thanks Guys,
Yes that's also the issues I crossed and mostly why I did not went further.
What I'd really like to have is using require.js. We have an issue (among
somehow others related) for that: https://s.apache.org/8uj8v

Hi,
I am also relatively new to OFBiz, but it seems to me that Typescript is a bit overkill : as Carl says we should defined a build step to translate
Typescript to Javascript but we should also define an install step to get build dependencies to be able to develop on Typescript files. I think all
of these stuff will introduce more drawback than benefits, especially regarding the total amount of javascript we write on OFBiz

Hello, personally i am a "fan" of typescript, but i've used it on other project
and not in a ofbiz context (hello i'am new).
TS is a not a full replacement to JS but help to do better code. The learning curve is easy for a user of JVM langage (Java, Groovy, Kotlin) or
Dotnet.
The killing feature for myself is the capacity to use interface.
But is not perfect : you must convert TS to JS (ES5 or ES6) with build tool,
you must define a pipeline with tools like gulp, webpack etc.

Hi Taher,
This Winter I began a try. But it was more complicated than I thought.
I worked on OfbizUtil.ts (from OfbizUtil.js).
I keep the work for now (was considering dropping it, but it's not a problem to
keep it)

Hi,
I was reading https://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/languages-and-frameworks, for
a long time I'm interested by TypeScript. This is what they say:
*<<TypeScript <https://www.typescriptlang.org/>* is a carefully considered language and its consistently improving tools and IDE support
continues
to impress us. With a good repository <https://definitelytyped.org/> of
TypeScript-type definitions, we benefit from all the rich JavaScript
libraries while gaining type safety. This is particularly important as our
browser-based code base continues to grow. The type safety in
TypeScript lets you use IDEs and other tools to provide deeper context into your code and make changes and refactor code with safety.
TypeScript,
being a superset of JavaScript, and documentation and the community has helped
ease the learning curve.>>
Has anybody considered using it? Should we not try it?
Thanks
Jacques
