    The typings on the class variables are useful to have. There are also typings on the function signatures, not a huge deal.

    In the method bodies there are almost no typings as all of it is already inferred. Seems pretty readable to me.

  • TypeScript

    TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

  • proposal-type-annotations

    ECMAScript proposal for type syntax that is erased - Stage 1

  • > There's even the future possibility of much of its type syntax being absorbed back into JavaScript: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-type-annotations

    ... as comments. Which superficially resemble the syntax of type hints but do nothing. Which has to be one of the worst language design decisions of all time.

  • tsc-esm-fix

    Make Typescript projects compatible with esm/mjs requirements

  • Probably because it compiles them to a pre-standard ES5-compatible implementation based on good ol' `Foo.prototype`. And since they've already handled them one way, they can't become spec-compliant without breaking backwards compatibility.

    The other place where this shines through particularly egregiously is the support of ESM static import/export. Everybody's build tools been compiling that back down to CJS so hard that Node.js 16+ introduced intentional incompatibilities between CJS and ESM modes just to get people to finally switch to the standards-compliant module system. So you end up in a situation where the library is written in TypeScript with ESM syntax but the only available browser build is a CJS blob which completely defeats the main touted benefit of static imports/exports, namely dead code elimination...

    So you decide what the hell, let's switch TSC to ESM and moduleResolution node16, and end up having to use something like https://github.com/antongolub/tsc-esm-fix because the only allowed fix for TSC doing the wrong thing is at the completely wrong level - https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/esm-node.html - if you don't see what's wrong with that, you're one of today's lucky 10000...

  • rescript-compiler

    The compiler for ReScript.

  • There (kind of) is another option. It is called Rescript. But to be honest will probably never take off... :(

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
