41: Be Super with TypeScript and Jared Palmer. On the when, where, what, why, and how much of TypeScript in React.

Typescript. What is it? How does it help you write better code? Will it help you sleep better at night?

Jared is a lead engineer at The Palmer Group, a strategy, design, and engineering firm. There he uses TypeScript every day to keep code sturdy and maintainable.

Chantastic asks Jared what we need to know to get a little TypeScript into our apps. They discuss the joys and pains of Typescript in 2019 and how it compares to languages like Reason, Ocaml, Fable, and Elm.
