Eloquent JavaScript 4th edition (2024)
It's not as popular as typescript but not dead, it's consistently active [0] for a decade.

Current thoughts on TypeScript, type safety, and its competition/presence in the ecosystem?
One alternative that I found was flow, thought haven't used it. There is a bevy of languages that transpiles to JS, though some seemingly lost their attention over time. Can the bridge to WASM contribute to this or is that digressing from the topic?
-
Typescript vs Flow? and why?
I think you are mistaking Flow unmaintained for Flow actively maintained.

Interesting ocaml mention in buck2 by fb
Hack and Flow are also written in OCaml.

I'll offer my two cents, since we're all taking another ride on the JavaScript hate train.
So... you're referring to flow?

Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?
NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations.

Bun 1.1
ntdll.dll!RtlUserThreadStart()
There are valid reasons to use APIs from NTDLL. Where I disagree with zig#1840 is the idea that it is always better to use NTDLL versions of API. Every other software ecosystem uses the standard Win32 APIs and diverging from that without a good reason seems like a good way to have unexpected behavior. One concrete example is most users and programmers expect Windows to redirect some file system paths when running on WOW64. But this is implemented in Kernel32, not ntdll.
