This article takes a more critical, data-driven approach to analyze the ROI of using TypeScript to build large scale applications.

​​There are a lot of scary things happening these days, but here’s what keeps me up late at night.

Couple of corporations want to lock down the internet and give us access to nothing more than a few walled gardens. They want to burn down the Library of Alexandria and replace it with a magazine rack.

​​We all know about refactoring. If you’ve read even a single programming book, or if you spend much time on Medium, you’ll have heard all about it. It’s an important concept that keeps code understandable, maintainable, and extensible.

​​Many will tell you that NodeJS is better suited for small projects and that static, compiled languages like Java/C# are better for large enterprise applications. This is where TypeScript comes in handy; it gives you the rapid development of a scripting language combined with the type safety of a static language.

​​There are many great plugins already written for Gatsby. You should be able to pick pretty much any data source, from local Markdown files to Wordpress to Contentful, and have something running pretty quickly.
