backlog: c# vs typescript

Cons of Typescript compare to C#

1. var myStatement1=require("ast/myStatement")
and need to correct back to
var myStatement=require("./ast/myStatement")
C# does not have this problem

2. Refactoring of class won't affect the naming of usage of class in the other files
e.g., naming myStatement to myStatement1,
it will change from
var myStatement=require("./ast/myStatement")
to
var myStatement=require("./ast/myStatement1")
still myStatement is using
C# does not have this problem

3. The Test Explorer needs to parse for a long time, C# is fast

4. The compiler scanning each typescript file takes quite for a while during starting while C# is very fast

5. C# has windows form for fast UI prototype

6. The Typescript UI sometimes just hang, C# does not have this problem

7. The solution Explorer sometimes left with a big gap after cleaning the js and js.map file, C# does not have this problem

8. Many datastructure are lack off, and difficult to see the contents like Dictionary (from https://github.com/basarat/typescript-collections) in debugging mode. C# does not have this problem

Cons of C# compare to TypeScript

1. Need to go through Edge.js for running node.js indirectly.

2. Lack of understanding of JavaScript by always coding in C# (Fortunately I have coded quite sometimes in typescript).

3. Actually there is no real shortcoming of C#, it enables fast development without concerning on those superficial stuff, and put real concern in logic.
