Cantrip

A sketch of a non-standard library for javascript and typescript.

Goals

Comprehensive type safety
Prefer immutability
Consistency with the actual standard library
Leverage typescript's language service
Compatibility with foreign packages
- Data structures should conform to standard or broadly-used interfaces
Usability from javascript
- Functionality hard to use correctly without a type checker requires special justification
- Where possible, constraints described in type annotations should be enforced at runtime
Within the above constraints: power over familiarity

Hard prohibition: namespace collision
- Anything added to globalThis or monkey-patched functionality must have a symbol name
Use magic internally when it improves the experience for callers
- Lie to the type checker
Callers should never be encouraged to write their own magic
