Hi
I just started working today and I couldn't create javascript project

I tried

ionic start myProject --v2 --no-ts

All my files are in .ts

What's the point of removing optional Javascript setup?? Was it too complicated to maintain?
Forcing Typescript seems like abandoning the Javascript principles and minimalism and moving towards Java. Well, why not using Java instead of strongly typed Javascript then?

@AbdullahDahmash @kitkimwong JS option has been removed, since we are going to focus our efforts to support Typescript.

Since TS is a superset of JS, it is up to developers to use the new features or not. We strongly recommend to give TS a try, decorators and types help a lot while using angular 2.

Angular2 supports Javascript as well as TypeScript - disappointing news for Ionic2

One reason more for "I hate TS", :sob:

bad news... don't force us to use TS, give the option to choose would be a smart decision

I don't like TS, with pure javascript you can decide what last js features use and transcompile with babel or similar.

TS is not a different language, but a superset, that means you can write vanilla JS if you want to, just don't use classes, types, or anything.

TS is very easy to code and maintain. Development time error checking is a time saver.
Also, there is a lot of super cool features.

If you want to write pure JS, yor can.

Please, give TS a try, you won't regret.
