Question

What are the Disadvantages of TypeScript?

Answer 1

TypeScript has the following disadvantages:

1. TypeScript takes a long time to compile the code.
2. It does not support abstract classes.
3. If we run the TypeScript application in the browser, a compilation step is required to transform TypeScript into JavaScript.
4. Web developers are using JavaScript for decades and TypeScript doesn’t bring anything new.
5. To use any third party library, the definition file is a must.
6. Quality of type definition files is a concern.
