Love this show, stumbled upon it a few months ago and listen to most episodes. The host mentioned that he would rather write typescript than JavaScript. Imo typescript can get messy fast with generics, I’d rather just be in JavaScript or even better an actual functional language with types like reason, ocaml, or purescript if I am going with types.
If you write your programs in Typescript the same way as you write JavaScript, you'll end up with a lot of generics, runtime type checking, and type assertions; yes. But if you adjust your style to TypeScript, you'll find yourself writing code in a more restricted way where you're not reaching out to generics quite as often.

Great show, thank you for helping to give non mainstream languages like Ocaml the exposure they deserve
Glad to see this show back!
Glad to be back. 😀
Man sees OCaml, man clicks Like
OCaml is such a funny language because it has so much stuff that almost no one even knows exists.

good video, despite not caring about either JS or ocaml 👍
28:18 also add F# with Fable compiler. I am surprised it doesn't get talked about more.
we're so back!
melange is the spice... yo need to see ReasonML!!! 🤣
Melange came after Reason's demise to save what was ReasonML after those jokers splintered off into Rescript... nice jab tho.
Funny. Just yesterday I wrote micro runtime for JS for algebraic effects using continuation passing.
I was a contributor of Ocsigen, what about it nowadays?
I used to use Ocsigen a couple years back and had pretty good time with it. I'm curious what's happened to it as well.
