  • Typescript is a really powerful language due to the fact that it is superset of JavaScript. It allows you to do things with types that you cant do in other strongly typed languages like Java or C#. Learning JavaScript first, you would have an easier time grasping advanced typescript concepts. But like others said, JavaScript does allow you to learn bad habits. It takes years to learn how to write JavaScript in a way where you won’t shoot yourself in the foot. TypeScript first would theoretically help keep you on a learning path that would mitigate picking up bad habits. But typescript is a superset of JavaScript after all. If one is determined to sidestep all the nice typings that TypeScript provides you, one can and you will lose all the benefits of TypeScript anyways.



  • I would recommend gamemaker.io. Although I haven’t used it in a long time, I think their philosophy is still the same. You get to use no-code to get your feet wet. When you need more flexibility you can use their custom scripting language. So you essentially get to become acquainted with their technology while programming in no-code and then when you switch to coding, it’s not as big of a leap since you’re not transitioning to a completely new technology.













  • Yes and Id like to put in my two cents. I love driving. And it’s been my experience, having owned both manuals and automatics, that it is way more attainable to achieve fun engaging driving experiences safely when I drive manual. It’s far more difficult to attain that safely when driving automatic. The reason is that automatic cars are usually only fun when accelerating, turning at high speeds, or recklessly speeding. Manuals can be fun pretty much no matter what you do. So it’s perfectly reasonable for me to expect to have a good time when driving safely in a manual, and in my experience there is little to no motivation to pull unsafe maneuvers in the name of having fun. Point is there are in fact people who drive for fun who don’t feel the need to drive recklessly.
