I got to watch Dimitri posting internal updates about his progress on this, and it has been utterly mindblowing. This is genuinely one of the most amazing things I've ever seen done with code. Absolutely legendary feat! (And also an incredible amount of persistence.)
Where can we see these updates?
A WASM runtime in TypeScript types is impressive in its own right, but I think I can dimly see how it could work with a lot of effort. https://github.com/MichiganTypeScript/typescript-types-only-... What I don't understand is how this thing does keyboard input. At 3:42, the video simply says, "And, yes, there's a way to do keyboard input," without elaborating on how. What sorcery is that ? There must be something out…

However, I'm guessing this is why we see a demo of pong and not doom. Doom probably just can't keep up with this.
No idea if I'm remotely on the right track here though.
Nothing will ever top this for typescript types. This is the pinnacle. An entire virtual machine and system memory with garbage collector in types. Turing Completeness is one level, but being able to run Doom is the real test of whether a programming environment is complete and robust. Absolutely stunning to see TypeScript's type system get there.
Quick, someone tell this author it's not possible.
imagine how amazing it would be if every major browser tomorrow suddenly dropped support for JS entirely and said that they only run typescript now. It will be a hard but absolutely mind blowing transition

Very impressive!

Well we haven't implemented a web browser capable of running javascript in the typescript type system yet. Quick, someone tell this author it's not possible.
