In plain words

Ezno is an open-source TypeScript type checker built with Rust, offering developers an alternative to the standard TypeScript compiler. It performs static type analysis for TypeScript code and is designed for developers working with TypeScript projects who want a different implementation approach. The tool launched in June 2023 and is available on GitHub for those interested in exploring Rust-based development tooling alternatives.

From the sources

Firstly, to not waste anyone's time, do not bother running this currently on any existing projects. It does not currently support import , loops, async and loads of other JavaScript features. This is an early release to showcase functions, object, events and basic typing. More of those features coming shortly, once the architecture has been initially tried out. If you haven't heard of Ezno before you can read the initial announcement for a idea of some features implemented in this release and the aims of the project. Ezno's checker is now open source 🎉 . Additionally I have spent the last week integrating it into the Oxc CLI . If you haven't heard of it before, Oxc is a suite of tools for…from github.com

    Open-source Postman alternative with type safety2023 · recipeui.com · ▲275

    Hello! This is Jeane and Samuel and we’re building RecipeUI. RecipeUI is an open source Postman alternative that uses TypeScript to statically type and autocomplete requests. We built this because current API tools don’t deal with the fact that some APIs are just painful to work with. For us, it’s usually error after error as we try to figure out how to properly form the first request. We recorded a demo to show you how TypeScript helps us autocomplete a request correctly. https://youtu.be/O_Mly_p-g5s How does our platform improve the developer experience? The analogy is…

    Hello, folks. I'm Jiang, the author of ESInfer. I love writing Javascript because it has a prosperous ecosystem and is quick to get my hands dirty. However, sometimes it's painful when the flow is not fast to follow due to the lack of a type system. To solve this, I wrote ESInfer, a statical inference tool, to automatically type check and generate type annotations for Javascript. It works with pure Javascript without any add-ons to the language or user-space code and supports highly dynamic features, such as the modification of prototypes. It is still in the very early stage, which offers…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
