Comment Repackager? (Score 1) 15

most startups flop because they fail to get seen, even if they have product-market fit

Couldn't a savvy investor contact the producer of otherwise good products that are not getting traction, and ask for an ownership percent if they market it for them?

By waiting until after the product is clearly flopping, the investor can get a better deal (bigger slice) since the producer no longer has many options for the product.

Comment De-JS-ing TypeScript? (Score 1) 28

Would it be plausible to make a language from scratch that's fairly similar to TS but fixes the warts left over from JS-ness? Call it Fixed Type Script (FTS) as a working term here.

Then make a FTS-to-JavaScript compiler/transpiler/interpreter. I realize FTS wouldn't run as fast as TS, but for most apps that wouldn't matter.

Oh, and add Optional Named Parameters. Those are a must! I will eat the pet of anyone who makes a new language without ONP's! I love ONP's; I married them!

And please don't use "+" for string concatenation. That was a really dumb decision.
