These are all thing that I would, on balance, privately recommend to someone asking me for a solution to a particular use case. In almost all cases, there are things I think could be better about them, but on balance I think they're good.

(this is also not an exhaustive list; now that it got long, I realized leaving something out could be seen as a snub, if there's something you expected to see here and didn't, ask!)

How much should I read into the fact that you said "Typescript" without "Typescript and the community?"
-
The TypeScript community isn't deeply involved in the design of TS, but the community is great otherwise.
-
I think very few people are qualified to have meaningful input about TypeScript design. Andres is just too good at having a great long term vision. Almost nobody asked never or conditional types but those are just the right decisions to build on top of them
-
I'm a little to old to buy into the "Noble Genius" thing again, but glad to hear it is working out at least in the short term.
-
I'm hopeful that they will eventually open things up to a more community process.
-
Have you been to our GitHub issue tracker? 2,000+ suggestions, hundreds tagged "help wanted", hundreds implemented by the TS team. > 100 issues outlining our design meeting notes. I can't think of a way to make it more community-driven without straight-up democracy (bad plan)
-
Yes, I've been to the GitHub tracker. I've filed bugs and written long comments about proposals. I think there are certainly ways to make it more community-driven without turning it into a "democracy" (Rust teams make hard decisions, but the process is more open)

Have you always been a Windows user? Have you considered other OSes?
-
I used DOS as a kid, Windows until I was 23, then Mac when I became a programmer, then Windows again after Windows 10. I've of course used Linux a lot as a server OS, and occasionally played with it as a desktop OS.
-
Why’d you go back to Windows after 10 and having switched to Mac when becoming a programmer?

Good call on that "no particular order"
