Line 60: ::::They're finally converting JSDuck to JSDoc? 🎉 Finally! It's a bit disappointing that the Babel idea was shot down, though. It would have provided a universally better experience for writing user scripts. <span style="background:#ffff00;color:#00159c;">'''''[[User:Chlod\|Chlod]]'''''</span> <small style="font-size:calc(1em - 2pt)">([[User talk:Chlod\|say hi!]])</small> 18:11, 13 December 2020 (UTC) :::I wrote about the issue on [[Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Proper ECMAScript support\|Wikipedia:Village pump (technical)#Proper ECMAScript support]], and there are discussions ongoing {{phab\|T75714}}. Some people are so afraid of new technology, to quote from an issue written just a few days ago: ''"JS is a hazard and was a mistake."''. For me there is just no way I can justify the amount of work and time needed to produce even the smallest thing. It's really a shame because I think this is a major hindrance for the loads of skilled JS/ES/TS devs who regularly contribute to OSS projects that may be interested in contributing here...

It seems my raw coverage is greater, but I have put in just the types and not doc-comments. Can we please collaborate on this so that the same definitions can be used across Twinkle and Redwarn and hopefully, many more scripts/gadgets to come? Open to setting up a separate repo for this that can be published to npm. – [[User:SD0001\|<span style="font-weight: bold; color: green">SD0001</span>]] ([[User talk:SD0001\|talk]]) 14:47, 17 December 2020 (UTC)
