React team updated the new documentation with Typescript instructions. Javascript still the main language

Typescript is lately in the center of heated debate after Turbo dropping it’s facade from the codebase.

Some argue Typescript is good, some that Javascript is better. Some realize Typescript is a Javascript extension.

In that time context, an accidental parallelism caused React team to release instructions how to use Typescript with the popular library (it’s not an insult).

It happens also just after (again, accidental time coincidence) Dan Abramov, that was heavily involved into writing the new documentation, left Facebook.

The new documentation overall is really great. Typescript part as well.

What I like about it, is that it doesn’t criticize Typescript. It’s a major change since the older docs had some ambiguous statements torwards…
