I don't want to support this company. What are good alternatives to GitHub, TypeScript, npm, and Visual Studio Code (besides Atom)?

Github I guess?

> TypeScript, npm,

I don't know if you'll be able to avoid NPM, but _maybe_ you could try ReasonML if you're doing frontend stuff with TS? Don't really know tbh

> Visual Studio Code (besides Atom)?

Sublime Text 3 with plugins for general stuff, one of the JetBrains IDE's for more language specific work if so desired.

ReasonML is a pretty decent choice. Small learning curve, JS interop, fast compilation, functional goodies.

Plus a thing called "Structural typing" that gives you the flexibility of dynamic typing without losing the guarantees from static typing.

Plus, if they are doing front-end stuff, it's my understanding that ReasonML will also output native code, which should theoretically go a long way to making a OS-native app significantly easier right?
