On a mild personal note, I'm finally (mostly) moving from X to Bluesky... and also calling it X instead of Twitter now. Woop. 🦋

Got a chance to read this article early and WOW is it great at outlining what branded types are able to do for you!

[Josh Goldberg 🦋 @JoshuaKGoldberg]

This article was long in the making, but I'm happy with how it came out (& relieved it's finally done). Branded types are surprisingly useful when they're applicable!

Shoutout & thanks to Kenny Lin, @chriskrycho, @jfmengels, @Matheyes, and @_nicojs for advice on the article - you all rock! ❤️

New Learning TypeScript article: Branded Types 📛

TypeScript is great, but what happens when you want even more specificity than what it allows? Say, differentiating sanitized and un-sanitized strings, or positive integers from all numbers?

I just started reading Learning TypeScript by @JoshuaKGoldberg and I must say, the music references early on have gotten my attention.

A juicy topic, with info on:

* Why strict semver is impractical for TypeScript
* How TypeScript adheres to a looser semver instead

A lot of you like TypeScript. How do you deal with the fact that it does not respect semantic versioning? This seems so much of a deal breaker to me... and I get bitten by it every single time I use TS.

[Josh Goldberg 🦋 @JoshuaKGoldberg]

This one's a little spicy 🌶️. looking forward to rage engagement from it. 😄

Thanks in particular to the folks who gave feedback: @SeaRyanC, @drosenwasser, Kenny at Codecademy, and @CodesChrissy!

Finished @JoshuaKGoldberg Typescript book a couple weeks ago. It was amazing! Very well written and beginner friendly 💜. I left a small review on my website.

It’s arrived! I can’t wait to bring this to @ReactMiamiConf and get it signed by the author. Thanks for writing it, @JoshuaKGoldberg.

[Elizabeth Kenyon @lizkenyon07]

favourite resource for learning typescript for someone who hasn't worked very much in typed languages for years. (asking for me.)

[Tom Price @TomJaPrice]

@JoshuaKGoldberg @lizkenyon07 @LearningTSBook This book plus the TS handbook are absolutely all you need to get up and running fast — and this is a hill I am willing to die on.
