mullet VS discuss

Historically hapijs hasn't been very involved in the frontend space, aside from its support for templated sites via vision (without which we would not have hapipal.com!). (Also, shoutout to @lynnaloo's Mullet from many years back!) In pal-land we've already started playing around with some novel server-side UI tooling in the space of server-side rendering, and will continue to iterate and share our results.

The TypeScript conversation in pal dates back to late 2019. Nothing has really barred users from using TypeScript in pal projects, and many modules already have definitions in DefinitelyTyped. At the same time, there were still some rough edges, particularly when using TypeScript with haute-couture, which we have addressed in this latest release. The next step is to start managing our own types, and we have a proposal about how to handle this given our constraints, plus a couple community members interesting in driving this work forward. While I don't expect to see modules rewritten in TypeScript, I do anticipate that next year we'll be talking about improved typings and continued quality of life improvements for those who choose to develop pal projects in TypeScript.
