Got Org Babel playing nice with TypeScript thanks to ob-typescript. It’s a wild Saturday morning here.

Takes a bit to get there on WSL but the code does run.

Emacs Org file showing output of executed typescript block

That required a few more lines in my config, but not too many.

Code Sample

    (use-package ob-typescript)
(use-package org
  ;; ...
  :config
  (org-babel-do-load-languages
    'org-babel-load-languages
    '((typescript . t))))

I also added Tide for TypeScript support in Emacs. Just copied and pasted from all the links, so config’s a bit of a mess.

Oh hey that’s right I still need to take my ADHD meds. I’ll go do that now.

Was worried yesterday that a Node.js code idea of mine uses 73MB RAM but it turns out the same check shows “Hello World” in Node.js using 71MB so a) the idea is still on; and b) ugh Node.

Reminder from my days with Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, etc:

The fact that I’m complaining about Node.js is the clearest indication that I’m actually using it.

I have now “used $TOOL in anger” and all that.

Well there’s an image for your modern dystopia nightmare collection.
