Our readingWhat is a korrent?

The most-cited study showing that language design affects software quality rests on misclassified repositories.

Drawn from what Dan Luu said

What these subjects mean

TypeScript A typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.

design How things should be made and judged: what makes a design good, who should do the designing, and what an interface is for.

software quality Whether a program is any good and how anyone would know: tests, review, debt, and what a suite cannot cover.

metascience Research about research: whether published findings hold up, and what makes a field more or less reliable.

What Dan Luu actually said

  1. Dan Luu Programmer who has worked on hardware verification at Centaur
    So the intermediate result appears to not be that TypeScript is reliable, but that projects mis-identified as TypeScript are reliable.
