My tech trends of 2020
I’ve been using it for many years now, since 2014 and the release of the alpha of Angular 2 in fact. TypeScript continues to grow in popularity (see StateOfJS 2020) and I recommend his usage in many contexts because, to me, it facilitates teamwork and helps JavaScript developers build more robust applications. The Microsoft team released 4 versions of TypeScript in 2020: 3.8, 3.9, 4.0, 4.1, including many very interesting features. Check out the roadmap for incoming features!

Zip Iterator in Typescript

Conditional type - how to use it as function return type?
This is a compiler limitation. See https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/33014 The issue is type T cannot be narrowed down just by looking at one value of it. We’ve been blocked by this issue for a long time (for upgrading typescript).

Strongly Typed Error Handling in TypeScript
TypeScript is a great language. TypeScript takes JavaScript and makes it actually good. If there’s one glaring weakness, it’s the inability to use strongly typed catch blocks. However, this is mostly due to a design flaw in the JavaScript language; in JavaScript, you can throw anything, not just Error types.

Calling JavaScript from TypeScript
If you add the // @ts-check comment at the top of your js file, it will be type-checked almost like all your typescript files, and JsDoc annotations will be honoured 😮. You can read more about the differences here.

GUIDs Are Not the Only Answer
Typescript doesn't have functionality for non-equivalent types with identical primitives or interfaces (e.g. you can't have string-equivalent type A ≠ string-equivalent type B), though there's ongoing discussion around adding it (https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/202).

Verified Programming in F*: A Tutorial
In poking around, I found this: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/issues/14833
Where someone actually implements a compile-time check for prime numbers. I guess saying that it _can't_ be done is inaccurate. It's just absolutely horrendous.
