"@KentonVarda Surely this would require a codegen step Where you run a build tool to parse an existing TypeScript type and generate corresponding runtime type-checking code If so it's a big no from me. Codegen tools (like Relay and typed routing) always add friction. I like ArkType though"

"@KentonVarda Because it entails introducing one more compile step that isn't chained into your TypeScript language service or build pipeline so you will always have to put up with extra compilation errors while authoring new type schemas until you've re-run your second compiler. DX sucks"

"@1804davey @expo @donadeldev @jmeistrich @SaadNajmi weve found a way of running unnotarized macOS apps without triggering the security pop-up This was my finding incidentally It turns out ad-hoc signed macOS apps can run on any Mac as long as theyre downloaded via CLI.
