You can play with your code here, and visualise ASTs for the same.

To understand this syntax, I recommend exploring AST Explorer. You will have a better view of how the AST of JavaScript works and how to correlate it with the Eslint syntaxy:

You can never mistake type_declaration with an identifier, otherwise the program will not work. Aside from that constraint, you are free to name them whatever you like, there is no one standard, and each parser has it own naming conventions, unless you are planning to use something like LLVM. If you are interested, you can see examples of naming in different language parsers in the AST Explorer.

The rule that I want to write will be called not-allows-underscore: the idea is to abolish the use of underscores when declaring variables or functions. It's a real dummy rule, but it should be enough to see in action the concepts that we have discussed earlier. The first thing that I would do is to go to AST Explorer, write down a code that declares variables and functions (both standard and arrows one) and take a look at what type of node is the one that encodes the identifier. Doing that, I found out that the node type of my interest is Identifier, what a surprise! 🤣. In particular, the structure of the node holds the string used as identifier in the name property.

All the information about the API, AST node names, AST Explorer, etc. you can read in the official documentation. I’m just going to show examples of how to automate the check-up of our created conventions.

AST Viewer

If you want to see how the AST of popular languages looks, I recommend the AST Explorer. It supports various languages, and you can view the complete AST and navigate through the nodes. If you want to go further, you can try to copy some logic from an existing parser and implement it in your own, such as calculating an expression according to precedence order, for example: 1 + 2 * 3 (which is 7, not 9).

https://astexplorer.net/ is a good resource/playground for understanding ASTs and transpilers.

Regular expressions are part of the language, so it's not so unreasonable that TypeScript should parse them and take their semantics into account. Indeed, TypeScript 5.5 will include [new support for syntax checking of regular expressions](https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/pull/55600), and presumably they'll eventually be able to solve the problem the GP highlighted on top of those foundations.

Dedicated syntax for creating unique subsets of a type that denote a particular refinement is a longstanding ask[2] - and very useful, we've experimented with implementations.[3]

I don't think it has any relation to runtime type checking at all. It's refinement types, [4] or newtypes[5] depending on the details and how you shape it.

Learning Curve and Developer Tooling sCrypt is an embedded Domain Specific Language (eDSL) based on TypeScript. It is strictly a subset of TypeScript, so all sCrypt code is valid TypeScript. TypeScript is chosen as the host language because it provides an easy, familiar language (JavaScript), but with type safety. There’s an abundance of learning materials available for TypeScript and thus sCrypt, including online tutorials, courses, documentation, and community support. This makes it relatively easy for beginners to start learning. It also has a vast ecosystem with numerous libraries and frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, Vue) that can simplify development and integration with Web2 applications.

As a JavaScript or TypeScript developer, you might have come across the terms type and interface when working with complex data structures or defining custom types. While both serve similar purposes, they have distinct characteristics that influence when to use them. In this blog post, we'll delve into the differences between types and interfaces in TypeScript, providing examples to aid your understanding.

TypeScript helps you in many ways in the context of a JavaScript app. It makes it easier to consume interfaces of any type.

In this guide, we'll be extracting information from Amazon product pages using the power of TypeScript in combination with the Cheerio and Crawlee libraries. We'll explore how to retrieve and extract detailed product data such as titles, prices, image URLs, and more from Amazon's vast marketplace. We'll also discuss handling potential blocking issues that may arise during the scraping process.
