Zuri (he/him) ❌️👑 🕐 CET#TypeScript nerds, can you help me out?
I have a type called DeepRequired that recursively makes optional properties in nested object required using dot notation as seen below.
The problem is: It is only somewhat working. I believe, I'm on the right track somewhere but I can't get closer than this.
Thanks in advance!

WTF!?
So Javascript has these functions to get the nodes in a document…
But because this language is dogshit invented by a complete and utter failure of a homophobic organism, those are of course not compatible with the standard iteration protocols of the language and you can’t just write
No,
Seriously, how has this failure of an excuse for a programming language managed to stay the only language shipped in browsers? Why did google not just force dart into chrome and tell people to use something that’s at least slightly less shitty?
Like how many different sequentially accessible container types that all have different and incompatible interfaces and are various degrees of difficult to turn into something usable does this crap have?

So Javascript has these functions to get the nodes in a document…
document.createTreeWalker and document.createNodeIterator that create a TreeWalker and a NodeIterator respectively.But because this language is dogshit invented by a complete and utter failure of a homophobic organism, those are of course not compatible with the standard iteration protocols of the language and you can’t just write
document.createNodeIterator(document.body, NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT).forEach(n => use(n));, because that would be way too easy!No,
NodeIterators and TreeWalkers have their own incompatible interface and there isn’t even an easy way to convert them into an array or something similarly usable, because again, that would require to have more than room-temperature IQ when designing a language, and we all know that homophobes lack that!Seriously, how has this failure of an excuse for a programming language managed to stay the only language shipped in browsers?

10-year-old tracking issue: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/1013
Robin TarsigerYou know, I like to semi-affectionately, semi-seriously rag on how #CommonLisp treats nil and pushes me to (deftype normal-symbol () '(and symbol (not null) (not keyword))) all the time, but typeof null === "object" in #ECMAScript feels so much worse, and all the moreso for the lack of being able to define expanders for giving to typep etc. (I haven't dug into #TypeScript yet but wonder whether it fixes the latter in practice.)

The second system syndrome is that evil effect that often happens when redesign a small, working system so that it becomes a huge leviathan built by piling new features over new features.
Today I was reading the overview of ECMASCript 4 from ecmascript.org, and I got this very bad feeling […]

The Nuances of JavaScript Typing using JSDoc
Perhaps it’s time to embrace real web open standard .js files which don’t require any build steps or tooling to execute properly, all while utilizing the power combo of JSDoc + tsc to gain all of the benefits of type hints in IDEs and type checking in CI.
