  Pattern matching syntax for ECMAScript

  

At this point TS is trying to keep runtime syntax in line with TC-39 (the language committee in charge of JS) proposals that reach Stage 3 (and thus likely to reach Stage 4 and general acceptance/use in the browser).

There is currently a Stage 1 proposal for a pattern matching syntax presented to TC-39. If it reaches Stage 3 then it is presumed likely Typescript will implement it.

Declarations: https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/9d56...

In the case of a widely used library, generics make sense at scale. It's reused and components revolve around the shape of props. Not to mention, DefinitelyTyped's superb community, continuous integration and maintainers around the globe.

Microsoft keeps pushing open source forward in so many ways.

Anyway - Outside of that, I've come to eschew writing new generic internally. The reason why is complexity not being worth the trade.
