Does anyone actually use Flow? I see TypeScript all over the place.
Which feature are you using in TypeScript that wasn't in Flow?
We're using Flow instead of TypeScript, so I think that's a pretty good reason.
Neither. I think Flow and TypeScript are both great solutions, and neither is clearly better at this point.
As someone who has used both Flow and Typescript for years, I'd recommend Typescript over Flow. You can use Babel to compile Typescript code just like you can with Flow and have Typescript do its type-checking in CI. Typescript has better editor integration, more type-definitions for libraries, and breaks compatibility much less often than Flow.
Isn't typescript better than flow? In what ways is flow better?
Flow might be a trap, only because it's lost out to Typescript at this point.
TypeScript, Flow? That's kind of what you're asking for.
Why Flow instead of Typescript?
Seems to use Flow instead of Typescript. I wish MS and FB just merged their projects already. Really unnecessary friction when their syntax is 90% the same AFAICT.
