🐢 Keb what are some options excluding TypeScript and Flow for type-checking a Node project?

🧐 Nrmn I'm honestly not sure there are any except using a cross-compiled language. Almost everything is nowadays compiling to WASM. But there are other languages that compile directly to Javascript as well. For example dart.dev

🖥️ Lesha And, it you're going to target wasm, you'll likely use either C or Rust and at that point you don't really need wasm for server side.

🧐 Nrmn Exactly, then you could go with eg rust directly

🐢 Keb Thanks, I think Haxe is also another option. However, I guess I'm looking for run-time type-checking modules, but doing a cursory search on npm pulls up tons of em, -- so I I'm wondering if anyone on Subreply has any recommendations there. :P

🧐 Nrmn No recommendations for a runtime package from my side except that I would personally prefer compile time checks instead of putting the load onto the client.

🐢 Keb Thanks. Likewise, I wouldn't wanna do that client-side either. This is a server-side Node app wherein I'm trying to keep the tooling to a minimum. :) I may adopt TypeScript in the future since it seems that's where the JS-world is headed...

🧐 Nrmn Oh of course, it's a node application. sorry, I should've read your posts better.
