Still annoyed that Flow lost the type wars.

Do you think there was an actual battle? I think to many - myself included, Typescript felt like the only option at the time.

At a previous job, I needed a truly safe type narrowing system, and I could do it with Flow pretty trivially, but in TS I couldn't figure out how to do it properly. It was messy. And I don't remember the details. I see if I can dig them up later.

Also pretty happy that library maintainers don't have to deal with the complexity of publishing types for multiple languages/ systems today.
