Never thought I would see the day this type checks in less than a second 馃く
Always bet on TypeScript! Just ran a perf check on the Go implementation in a massive @tan_stack Router project.
Even without JSX (not supported yet), it鈥檚 already 3.3脳 faster than TS 5.8. Promising results! 馃殌
Type level code is just another language to learn. If you're uncomfortable looking at it, you probably don't know it that well
I still think those repulsed by advanced TS just haven't done it enough. It's a small and quirky functional language. The great thing is there aren't any side effects you have to worry about
I've used many languages in my career. I can only think of C maybe. C++ is definitely not fast to compile
If a package solves a difficult problem then I use it. I don't pull in packages because it reduces boilerplate of simple code most understand
Here goes a simple example. Firstly transforming a tuple type to a union while concatenating two properties together separated by `/`. While its simple, there is a number of ways to do it
I'm going to start with how I would do it. A distributive conditional feels natural to unions. A truthy conditional check is easy on the compiler and is an easy way to trigger distribution
Over encouraging abstraction, design patterns, oop and fp for learning developers was definitely a mistake. I don't ever remember being encouraged to write simple code
Iterating and creating a union = use a distributive conditional
Iterating and creating an object/array = use a mapped type
Use recursion if you can't use any of the above
