A Proposal For Type Syntax in JavaScript - TypeScript

Today we’re excited to announce our support and collaboration on a new Stage 0 proposal to bring optional and erasable type syntax to JavaScript. Because this new syntax wouldn’t change how surrounding code runs, it would effectively act as comments. We think this has the potential to make TypeScript easier and faster to use for development at every scale.

If you use TypeScript, Matt Pocock has been dropping some great TS tips on Twitter. Here’s their latest tip!

🔥 TypeScript Tip #7 🔥

🧑‍💻 Beginner/intermediate
💡 Generics

Jhey always amazes me and he’s done it again. This is a really cool Slinky Codepen.

3D CSS Flip Flop Slinky ✨

Had to see if I could improve it and make it slink from side to side 🤓

The CSS Tip? Rotate the scene with a stepped timing function 🔥

.scene {
animation: flip 2s infinite steps(1);
}

Instant flip! 🙌
