Got a chance to read this article early and WOW is it great at outlining what branded types are able to do for you!
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? learningtypescript.com/artic… #typescript

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!

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

You can find more interesting discussion on this thread: xitter.cf/matteocollina/status/1…
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.

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

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.
