> I like TypeScript and we have a full-stack system on TypeScript but it's not perfect. Configuring TypeScript for monorepos is a nightmare.

It isn't TypeScript that needs to support your particular set of tooling and library choices, but the other way round. We have a mid-sized monorepo (multiple apps, many services) which is mostly typescript. It works alright with a boring npm workspaces based configuration.




Zod is recommended by most modern type safe packages. Also this is not the first time we’ve run into TS performance issues. MUI also suffers from poor TS performance.

I agree with your assessment re: library choices in theory but it suck to run into these DX problems that you wouldn’t normally run into with other languages, like Go for example.
