456: Typescript with Jimmy Thigpen


Listen Later

Joël turns to fellow thoughtboter Jimmy Thigpen as he looks to expand his knowledge about the wide world of Typescripts.

Together they discuss the differences between Typescript and other common systems such as Elm and Javascript, how to best handle their edge cases and error flags, as well as the benefits of using Zod as your typescript library.

Just starting out in Typescript? Try enabling Strict Mode!

Try out Zod for yourself in their browser playground, or check out Zod's homepage for more info.

If you’d like to contact Jimmy about all things Typescript he can be found over on LinkedIn
