Oh Microsoft marketing.
“The new version of the website was built out of a desire to make the documentation for TypeScript feel as expansive as its type-system, ”
I don’t know if I would call it “expansive”. I’d call it modern, powerful, efficient.
I say this thinking that most web developers view type systems as constraining, the opposite of expansive.
