Objectives

Explore some of the advanced features of TypeScript

generics

iterators and generators

recursive types, mixins, union and intersection types, and more

describe how we can model some interesting behaviors using this

NOTE: This is not a beginning TypeScript discussion!

if you're not already using TS in production code, you may get lost!

Summary

TypeScript is unique among languages

strongly-typed language...

... running on a loosely-/un- typed platform

which leaves lots of interesting places to innovate

and Microsoft does not seem to be done, by a long shot
