TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript which runs natively in browsers. It’s nice and handy for web development but they definitely ain’t topping the list for quantitative related programming. Even for web development … the least JavaScript the better. Ain’t some users still turning it off in their browser ? I already have used React and Node but never for trading. Wondering if there is any trading related package on NPM such as Numpy, Scipy or Scikit-learn. It’s off topic but I’d have never thought about someone recommending TypeScript for quantitative programming xD Not sure the JS community is contributing to this kind of shit.
Typescript fixes JavaScript, another horrible language. You don't have to disable JavaScript on your browser, we are not in the eighties anymore. Browsers execute JavaScript on a container that is not able to access the host file system. They implemented that when chrome came alone. Calling quantitative trading a project that is trying to build indicators is being way too generous. The point of this project is to display indicators on a UI. There isn't anything easier and faster to use than JavaScript on a web browser for that, that is why TradingView chose that language. And now they are the standard in trading. Every broker will move to those libraries sooner or later. But be my guest if you guys want to use shit like Java and Python for real time UIs. Just try to do that and you will see, because I have and I know how painful it is.
