TypeScript VS Tailwind CSS

I can't give advice about the trademark, other than that I've been through this kind of thing before and it sucks.

What I can say... is that I love what you've been doing on your Deepkit, and I was horrified to hear that this was happening to you.

Seriously, I've only lurked in the community so far, but it's possibly the most forward-thinking foundational library in the web space that I've seen.

Strong typing with annotations that can simultaneously influence runtime ORM and frontend generation, while being fully compliant Typescript? A hand-rolled lightning-fast Typescript compiler that emits the runtime reflection capabilities? Full-fledged DI as an inherent part of the design, not an afterthought?

It's such an incredible blend of beautiful tooling with pragmatic applications.

For anyone curious about this, https://web.archive.org/web/20230916074647/https://deepkit.i... is a fascinating read.

https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/47658#issueco... provides context on why some of TypeScript's design goals around erasure hold it back from these features. My vision of the web is that it would be an even more vibrant and innovative place if TypeScript were to cast off those restrictions.

DeepKit actually solving this by implementing its own compiler, bytecode, and interpreter... it's truly incredible.

Marc, know that there are people out there who love your work, and who will continue to follow it avidly regardless of the name. You're doing amazing things.

This parser is not written in TS types, and this kind of pedantry (when claiming "no js here") is important. In fact, the parser includes both the use of ternary operators as well as the rest operator, both of which are absolutely not part of the type system and are most certainly part of JS.

While this tries to reach the levels of "TypeScript is Turing complete[1]" (which happens to be super cool), it is, in my humble opinion, not even remotely interesting.

TypeScript- a strongly typed programming language that builds on JavaScript, giving you better tooling at any scale.

Type Safety TypeScript support is as good as Comlink, with all the type inference you expect.

The form is not looking that good. So let's add our own styles and make it beautiful. We will use tailwindcss for this.

Styling: Tailwind CSS

I primarily work on Windows, though I also use Linux, so I needed a cross-platform solution. I chose Electron for its flexibility and paired it with Svelte, TailwindCSS, and Vite-Electron. Vite made dev setup fast and clean, which I really appreciated.
