Eventually, node might allow JS to introspect those types.
That would be a huge win. Right now in Python, great tools like pydantic exist because Python can introspect said types, and generate checks out of them.
This mean you can define simple types, and get:
- type checking
- run time data check
- api generation
- api document generation
Out of a single, standard notation.
Right now in JS, things like zod have to do:
const mySchema = z.string();
Which is basically reinventing what typescript is already doing.
