> Make ESLint type-aware. This seems to be something we keep banging our heads against -- we just don't have any way of knowing what type of value a variable contains. If we knew that, we'd be able to catch a lot more errors. Maybe we could find a way to consume TypeScript data for this?
An ESLint plugin manages to do this well[1]. Would be nice to have this functionality built in natively although you do take a performance hit because you have to run the compiler.
My use case was I wanted to transfer a PDF to an Android-based tablet but in the moment didn't want to log into my email. I couldn't think of any quick, easy, and cross-platform solutions so I decided to write the service.
It's built on socket.io which is a godsend for websockets because it automatically handles so much grunt work and your app just works.
(I also went through and love this book). It isn't really even written in any code. It has some pseudocode to describe some things, but it primarily describes tests to write. It's a really excellent book to kick the tires of a new language you want to try out.
