It can, sure, but having coding conventions is essential, which those frameworks/linters help to enforce.

But we've been doing projects with millions of pages way before React :)

>Also, what‘s bad about typescript?

It tries to turn the very dynamic JavaScript into something it will never be and no amount of contortion can hide it. Unless it stops being a superset of JavaScript in the future, but I don't see that coming.



Wikipedia is a largely uniform, read-only, static experience. These days people want app-like experience on the front-end. Can‘t manage them with jquery.

The bit about typescript is true at runtime. However, Typescript is also good documentation for developers.
