Deep dive into how TypeScript separates type space from value space, a live coding demo using Zod (safeParse, schema -> inferred types, Zod schemas -> infer types), a practical pattern for safe environment variables (schema validation + declaration merging for process.env), branding/nominal types using symbols to prevent accidental interchange of primitives, and the compiler story: parsing→binding→checking→emitting, the TypeScript-to-Go port plus new compiler that promises 10x faster builds (about 40% from native rewrite, 60% from concurrency) and relies on ~120k tests.
