I've been using Scala.JS (with Fury!) the last few days. It took me literally years to start, but so far I am extremely impressed how a language built around the JVM *just works* on JS. Thank you @sjrdoeraene and all the other contributors! I'm 10x the JavaScript developer I was!

ScalaJS is one of the first things I learned to do once I got into Scala. Coming from TypeScript it felt like everything I was missing previously was front-and-center. It really is an amazing achievement.

That's interesting to hear from a TypeScript perspective. TypeScript is both newer (than Scala, not Scala.JS) and already more popular, and of the (very few, I imagine) people moving between Scala and TS, I assume most are moving in the opposite direction to you.

It's a lot easier to get started with typescript for various reasons. I just found myself greatly missing the type system once I started coding Scala on the backend. Sharing code with my backend and also getting a much better stdlib by comparison was too good to pass up.

Do you know if there have been any attempts to build a more Scala-like DOM API? I can't help but think that web programming in a more functional, immutable style could be a huge opportunity for Scala...
