Yes, we were adding TypeScript code, but we were adding CoffeeScript at a faster rate

So the devs were able to iterate faster with CS than with TS?




Another interpretation would be that a majority still picked Coffeescript out of familiarity and interop issues in their specific codebase. Iteration speed could be comparable or better in Typescript too, we don't know.


Often the reason is as simple as "This file I'm adding to is in coffeescript and I don't want to convert it right now"
