But, the way I see it TypeScript + "native libraries" has the

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.
