Okay so I m developing with Angular CLI now on my web front

Question

Okay so I m developing with Angular CLI now on my web front end but my backend uses SpringBoot with Kotlin seems so incredibly silly to write one part of the app in kotlin and the other part in typescript is there ever going to be a Kotlin based Angular CLI or is Typescript going to maintain it s monopoly on that platform

Shawn · Answer

gt seems so incredibly silly to write one part of the app in kotlin and the other part in typescript you mean like how people have been developing for decades

I mean sure some programmers do that without heart burn but suspect very few software engineers would accept this as okay

Shawn · Answer

I what the vast majority of web applications today uses disparate languages for frontend and backend

Shawn · Answer

slack itself is PHP on the backend and JS or maybe even TS on the client side for web and desktop

josephivie · Answer

It would definitely be nice to use the same language for everything but yeah it s not normal I d be surprised if there wasn t an easy full stack development set that used all Kotlin within a few years though

Gunslingor · Answer

Good to know shawn I agree that s the way it is right now not necessarily the way it should be I mean the vast majority of applications on the web have massive security breaches obviously doing something wrong building a skyscraper is just as complicated as building software but they aren t collapsing every other day lol I mean jeez man they both compile to JS why should there be two practically identical languages for compiling real code to a scripting language just seems crazy doubling the points of failure doubling the points of trust your putting into two different companies but I know I m just griping now smiley
