"I have a decent fluency in LLMs, and they have utility, but the absurd degree of over-hype, the way they're being forced on everyone, and the insistence on ignoring the many valid critiques about them make it very difficult to focus on legitimate uses where they might add value."

All of those are things I’ve found myself missing when working with other type systems.

- union types in general

- the strong type inference system
- automatic and custom type guards
- string and template literals just being magic
- how easy it is to ignore the type system when it’s inconvenient
