Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 12/06/2025Precompiled types require check time and emit which is slower than inference. You just live with stale types for longer 100
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 21/05/2025`extends any` is my favourite use of `any` to trigger conditional type distribution. 110
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 10/05/2025The term 'type-safe' is used rather a lot. Is `string` 'type-safe'? Depends. Maybe we should be referring to the most precise type for 'type-safety'? But do we? 230
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 19/04/2025Maybe a unpopular opinion but type level code actually looks nice after you get used to it 240
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 13/03/2025Realisation that my first language was delphi as a child because my father liked it. My first actual toy projects in college were in c#, spent years in that language. Now I have spent 9 years in typescript. 120
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 12/03/2025I want to hope types will get more ambitious with a faster typescript. Not more sloppy. That would be sad 130
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 11/03/2025Completely gobsmacked. Never thought I would see the day this type checks in less than a second 040
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 10/03/2025Mapped types are great. I just see them used in places where I would not all the time 310
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 06/03/2025Its cool that while TS is perceived to be completely structurally typed on the outside, deep structural relations can be optimised away by looking at type parameters 110
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 25/02/2025Choosing between react and solid is going to make me pause for a bit 110
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 23/02/2025I like intersections. They just have a few nuances 310
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 22/02/2025There are becoming fewer reasons I'd choose react for an SPA 020
Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 17/02/2025I always liked reaching for stuff when I needed it. I liked this about react from the beginning. I like this about router/start now 031

Christopher Horobin @chorobin.bsky.social · 30/11/2024Tbf to Haskell, it was the first language to click for me that you can be statically typed without writing any types. 010
