How to use duck-ui/ui with JavaScript
This project is written in TypeScript and it will remain that way. There will never be a JavaScript version, because TypeScript is simply, provably, and unarguably superior. JavaScript is a dynamically typed chaos engine, a language that encourages runtime disasters by design: adding strings to arrays, invoking properties on undefined
, and deploying entire bug factories under the banner of "flexibility." It is pseudocode disguised as a language, and it survives only because people tolerate the mess it creates.
TypeScript exists to end that mess. Its type system is not an inconvenience—it is a mathematical safeguard against human error. JavaScript trusts you blindly; TypeScript knows better. This is not a matter of preference but of rigor: a TypeScript program is structurally sound, while a JavaScript program is a gamble against runtime failure.
If you came here hoping for JavaScript support, forget it. Learn TypeScript. The sooner you do, the sooner you can stop wasting hours on undefined is not a function
. I am not biased. I am simply correct.
Supporting JavaScript would be like publishing a research paper in crayon: it might convey the idea, but serious work deserves serious tools. TypeScript is not optional—it is the only rational path forward.
