Write formik in plain js

Hey,

Is it possible to write formik in regular js instead of typescript and keep typings in a separate folder/file/library?

It’s really hard to read the codebase and contribute when you don’t know typescript. There are a lot of any typings, probably half - this kinda kills the purpose of strong types.

Currently, typescript adds to formik:

cons

• useful only for devs, who use TS
• hard to read and contribute for regular users
• requires more time to support types
• pollutes codebase
• almost half of typings are any

pros

• helps TS devs to make few errors (not really helpful due to any typings)
• makes TS devs happy to see project written in TS
• ?

This reminds the situation with coffescript - very hard to contribute, only for devs who know it. It’ll be really great to have formik in plain js, is it possible?

@jaredpalmer Please, keep on using Typescript.

Somehow, it makes me laugh (no offence, not targeted to any particular person in this thread) this conversation exists here, or any other place.

I disagree typings are deal breakers for contributors. Even junior members in our teams have no problem with understanding Flow typings at all.

Biggest strength of static type checkers is discovering issues without running code, so as long I/you/we discover those with TS/Flow, we should keep on using them. Removing TS would be definitely step back.

Waiting for Reason to gain more traction 😎
