I stay well clear of enums. in fact as soon as ts 5.8 lands (with this PR: github.com/microsoft/T...) I'll be enabling `--erasableSyntaxOnly` I've started using `--experimental-strip-types` in node too. I use typescript for checking + intellisense, not in my build pipeline roe.dev/ama #ama

Why do you stay clear of enums?

because they produce runtime artifacts and are not supported in JS (in general I want to use TS just for its type safety, not to extend the language)

Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense!

I like to see TS as my "live unit tests" for my code.
