For anyone intending to use this in production, note that it is inoperable to people who can't use mice (which can be caused by any number of disabilities or conditions).

"Our broader goal in writing this up was to illustrate some higher-level TypeScript features and type-driven design patterns in the practical context of modern web development."

Is type-driven design a think? For me it's just development ...

It's rarer these days, but there are still plenty of devs who don't think static types are important.

Is it rarer because of all the devs who decided that static types are a substitute for unit tests?
