  Typescript-first background services platform with durable functions.

  

2. Using predictive retries when you want some "good enough" error handling.

I agree that we can't really be 100% "correct" in determining whether something is retryable. But I think it's a bounded enough problem for a language processor (ala LLM) that can yield good enough results for vast majority of the use cases.

Here's a test case that asserts this behaviour (without any caching): https://github.com/differentialhq/differential/blob/236ffc53...

So in a way, it is bounded enough to yield this result deterministically in our test suite. But I agree there's a non-zero chance it fails, although we haven't observed it yet after thousands of test runs.

  Generate TypeScript bindings from Rust types

  

I agree, and disagree.

I agree that it limits the usage of the tool in a polygot environment. I disagree it's a downside.

The absence of an intermediary language does give some benefits to the first class citizen (in this case, Typescript).

However, there are some other developments [1] which attempt to make the Typescript type system an IDL to allow for better interop.
