A glossary of TypeScript

Motivation

Once upon a time, there was a developer that had an issue using the TypeScript language. He wanted to share his issue with the community to get help, but he didn't know how to properly write the title that would best describe his problem. He struggled to find the appropriate words as he didn't know how to name "this behavior" or "that kind of type mechanism".

This story encouraged me to start writing a glossary of TypeScript. Hopefully it will help you if you have to look for an issue, write an issue, or communicate with other TypeScript developers.

Disclaimer: it was me, I was the developer that struggled. I still struggle though, but this means I still have things to learn, which is great!

Thread Pools

Thread pools on the JVM should usually be divided into the following three categories:

1. CPU-bound
2. Blocking IO
3. Non-blocking IO polling

Each of these categories has a different optimal configuration and usage pattern.

function Piecewise(xs, ys) {
  return function(x) {
    //bisect
    var lo = 0, hi = xs.length - 1;
    while (hi - lo > 1) {
      var mid = (lo + hi) >> 1;
      if (x < xs[mid]) hi = mid;
      else lo = mid;
    }
    //project
