> C# culture is closer to enterprise Java than it is to Typescript I mean, this really depends on what you're looking at. Here's a sample from the MongoDB client: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/main/src... Here's a sample from Storybook: https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/blob/next/code/core... Here's a sample from Prisma: https://github.com/prisma/prisma/blob/main/packages/client/s... Here's a sample from Cal.com: https://github.com/calcom/cal.com/blob/main/packages/core/Ev... These are all fairly mainstream repos so it's not a one off to see "enterprise" style coding in TypeScript. It's rather the specific use case that determines the style of the code that's written. In the examples above, there's no need for the teams to choose JavaScript classes and inheritance to model the logic, yet it likely better fit

s the programming model of those modules. Look at Nest.js as well: https://github.com/nestjs/nest/blob/master/packages/core/rou... The whole codebase of Nest.js looks an awful lot like Spring or ASP.NET (controller syntax) probably because there's a lot of crossover in terms of what APIs need at scale and how to logically organize that logic. It just so happens that most use cases for C# and Java favor applications at a larger scale. Another key difference being object scope and lifecycles -- something that rarely comes into play in the generally single-threaded Node runtime. This being one of the key reasons why dependency injection is a thing in C# and Java land.

If you look at how major backend projects structure their code, it's almost always object-oriented TypeScript. I submit for the record: - Apollo Client: https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-client/blob/main/src... - Storybook: https://github.com/storybookjs/storybook/blob/next/lib/chann... - Nest: https://github.com/nestjs/nest/blob/master/packages/core/nes... - MongoDB Driver: https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/main/src... - Prisma: https://github.com/prisma/prisma/blob/main/packages/engine-c...

I also want to point their Node.js transactions API is wrong and looks like they have no idea how promises or async code work in JS. In mongo, you have a `withTransaction(fn)` helper that passes a session parameter. Mongo can call this function mutliple times with the same session object. This means that if you have an async function with reference to a session and a transaction gets retried - you very often get "part of one attempt + some parts of another" committed. We had to write a ton of logic around their poor implementation and I was shocked to see the code underneath. It was just such a stark contrast to products that I worked with before that generally "just worked" like postgres, elasticsearch or redis. Even tools people joke about a lot like mysql never gave me this sort of data corruption. Edit: I was kind of angry when writin

g this so I didn't provide a source and I'm a bit surprised this go so many upvotes without a source (I guess this community is more trusting than I assumed :] ). Anyway for good measure and to behave the way I'd like others to when making such accusations here is where they pass the same session object to the transacton https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native/blob/e5b762c6... (follow from withTransaction in that file) - I can add examples of code easily introducing the above mentioned bug if people are interested.
