Advanced TypeScript Type Utilities
summary
Live demos translate TypeScript features into concrete patterns: generic queues, a wrapper that returns immutable object/array proxies, and type-level functions using lookup types and mapped types plus conditional types with infer to extract array members. The talk shows how built-ins like Partial/Readonly/Omit/Exclude/Required/NonNullable/ReturnType are defined and reused, explains never vs unknown, uses GitHub Copilot during coding, and connects these utilities to real libraries for typesafe schema validation and RPC-style HTTP APIs that actually typecheck and work.
