Daria Caraway at JSworld Conference about TypeScript
summary
TypeScript can make React component APIs considerate for developers by using concrete patterns not platitudes: demonstrating generic constraints (e g T extends number|string) to prevent surprises, showing how to extend HTML element props so dynamic tag components accept native attributes, automating style and ergonomics with ESLint + Prettier to eliminate noisy PR comments, and shipping a real PR that fixed misleading types during a migration from AngularJS to React TypeScript so the fix actually works.
