📄 pkg-size: Find the True, Current Size of an npm Package Without Leaving Your Browser
A beautifully designed site that can show you the true size of an npm package (including dependencies) using the actual packages which are 'installed' in a browser-based WebContainers-powered environment. Hiroki has 🐦 a Twitter thread where he explains more about how it works.

📄 TypeScript and the Dawn of Gradual Types
From GitHub’s ReadME project comes a thorough journalistic take on how static typing made it into the JavaScript world, what TypeScript offers, some alternative approaches, and the possibility of adding type annotations to JavaScript iself.
MIKE MELANSON (GITHUB)
📄 Five Inconvenient Truths about TypeScript
A brief dose of reality for a world seemingly obsessed with TypeScript: “If you want to get into TypeScript, don’t think you can leave JavaScript behind. It will find you, and it will get you.”

- The Promise.withResolvers proposal has progressed from stage 2 to 3 at TC39, as has the array grouping proposal, as well as source phase imports.
- 🗣 The folks on Hacker News discussed why the site isn't being indundated with links to new JavaScript frameworks recently. Has React 'won'? Has AI stolen the limelight? Or is a JavaScript revolution quietly brewing..?

📄 The Node.js Best Practices List: 2023 Edition
A valuable, long standing resource has been “modernized to 2023 standards” (complete with recommendations of more modern libraries) with lots of work by creator Yoni and an ever growing team of contributors. The topics remain the same, however, covering areas like code style, project architecture, and taking apps into production. (If you’re already familiar with this list, you can skim through the #new and #updated hashtags on the page.)

📄Microsoft TypeChat: An Approach for Type-Safe LLM Responses
It’s interesting to see a new project from Microsoft with so many prominent names attached to it, but demonstrates the huge excitement within MS for ML and large language models (LLMs). TypeChat’s goal is to work around the issue of LLMs outputting unstructured natural language and instead to direct such output into a predictable, typed form.
