Q&A with Mike Hartington
summary
Quick Q&A highlights why TypeScript adoption centers on editor tooling and IntelliSense that surface undefined and other bugs before runtime, how types change code habits toward passing keys instead of whole objects to avoid excess work, and concrete features like tagged template literal types and TypeScript plugins that enable type-safe patterns and unified diagnostics. Future focus is performance and better editor integration with a planned Go port, and a simple way to try it is to add a tsconfig/jsconfig.
