Having done a fair amount of professional development in 
typescript over the last 6 months, I have to say I'm not as 
excited about it as I used to be. Don't get me wrong, I still 
think it's the best language in its space, but the javascript 
underneath it shows through in a lot of bad places and the lack 
of real meta-programming makes it hard to get your types exactly 
how you want them. Overall I've found it a frustrating when I 
compare it to working in D, despite it having a bunch of cool 
features I'd love to use in D.
