I mean if I have a NonEmptyArray say xs, and I then xs.map(x=>2*x), will the result of this expression be a NonEmptyArray ?

Can you map over this and preserve the NonEmptyArray type?

The production of this gadget will create more pollution.

Typescript is a good try, but ultimately our favourite JS runtime errors still happen, even with all the strictest ts settings. Syntactically it is quite clumsy, you can see the uninspired mix of C++ and Java in there. The typings now although people are doing lots of cute things with them, don't do some really fundamental things. For example there is currently no sensible way to type a non empty array in Typescript. Also the discriminated union with the identifying string literal in there is not terribly elegant.

Personally I wish either Rescript or Purescript gained adoption instead.

Does carbon filter this stuff?

Personally I prefer haml, in my opinion JSX is grotesque.

Honestly, all I care about is speed. Couple of word swaps here and there using a thesaurus, who gives a shit.

It works!

Python lambda syntax is ugly as hell.

Very tastefully done. Every one of these items is a huge improvement. This one in particular drives me crazy: `x.map(($) => $.name)`, `x.map .name` is almost Haskell level terseness.

Can this all not be done as experimental typescript though, rather than a new language?

Oh I stand by that comment. It is my opinion, did it offend you? I'm curious why you even felt the need to comment. Not every Briton has the power to do what she did. So the article is essentially just about her. She told all her friends what she was doing beforehand. Now what type of behaviour would you describe this as?

Reading it back you are indeed correct. I found the article misleading.

So basically after all that, you are quitting an in-office role for a remote role.
