969: This guy is nuts (TypeScript Doom)

Welcome to Syntax. Today, we have a really good one for you. We have Dimitri Metropolis here. He is the mastermind behind Doom and TypeScript along with TypeSlayer and a bunch of other it just wizardry. Just straight up wizardry. So we're gonna be getting into all kinds of TypeScript topics, but even getting into local meetups and, just a lot of cool stuff. Dimitri is incredible. So Dimitri, do you wanna give us a little, rundown of who you are and what you do? Yeah. I'm a TypeScript developer, whether I like to be or not. I've tried so many times over the years to, you know, go in other directions, but it's so near and dear to my heart. I've been doing this since, like, the Angular one point o days. I used to be die hard on that. Multidisciplinary is is the thing that I like to do. So I like trying new things that I've never experienced before. That's we'll get into it. But the doom and test script types project came out of that. Like, so many of the things that were necessary for that, I had no idea about before I started. And, I live in Michigan. Yeah. Love the cold weather. Hell, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Are you you from Michigan originally? I sure am. Yeah. I went to Massachusetts for grad school. So well, undergrad. So I have four degrees in things that are not computer science. Crazy. Yeah. So I was like, definitely like to learn, but, you know Yeah. That's then I came back. I'm from Brighton, Michigan originally. Oh, cool. So I grew up in that area. My wife's from Canton. So we Yes. Very Michigan people. My parents are still over there. Love to get to Ann Arbor anytime we can. So, doom in TypeScript. For people who may have not seen this, can you explain what the hell that means? This is literally, to preface this, this is absolutely nuts that you did this, and anyone listening should, like, buckle up. So go ahead. I wake up sometimes in the morning, and I think to myself, like, it's been a year since that was complete more. And I sometimes think wake up, and I think, I wonder if it's possible. And that's probably the best way to explain it. It's a thing that you would think something like that about. You just, like, it's I had this nagging thought. I wonder if it's possible. And actually, almost I mean, basically, the entire time I thought it wasn't possible. So what's the what? The what is Doom is a game, you know. It shows pixels on your screen. You type you push keys on your keyboard and things happen inside the game engine. Okay? Like, abstractly, that's what it is. And TypeScript is, you know, people have to separate type the type system and the runtime language we call JavaScript. So, like, when I say TypeScript, I'm talking about …
