Why we chose TypeScript for the Hasura Console

At Hasura, the team decided to use TypeScript for their Hasura Console due to its compatibility with existing JavaScript code and React components development. They also wanted to enhance developer experience by making things easier and faster. The decision was made after evaluating other options such as PureScript, ReasonML, and Elm. TypeScript's optional static typing allows developers to gradually add type checking where necessary, making it easy for JavaScript developers to transition into using TypeScript.
