Rails Creator Tried To Kill Typescript But Failed | David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) [Exposed]

In September 2023, Ruby on Rails creator David Heinmeier Hansson (DHH) removed TypeScript from the Turbo framework in just 3 hours—deleting thousands of lines of code and invalidating months of contributor work. 355 developers opposed the decision. Only 8 supported it. He merged it anyway.

This is the story of how the man who democratized web development became its most controversial dictator.

🔑 KEY POINTS:
- DHH removed TypeScript despite 97% community opposition
- Mirrors the 2021 Basecamp exodus where 1/3 of employees quit
- TypeScript adoption grew from 12% to 37% while DHH fought against it
- The "benevolent dictator" model without the benevolent part
- Why Rails' creator became the community's biggest obstacle

💬 What do you think? Was DHH right to remove TypeScript, or did he abuse his power? Let me know in the comments!
