How long did it take you to write that code / this article?

I'm a big fan of zero-dependency code (or at the very least with any dependency vendored/hosted locally), it means this page will still work and look as it does today in 25 years time.

I don't know if TS runs natively in browsers yet, but v8 / NodeJS does support it (just strips off Typescript specific tokens).



I took me about 3 months working on it on and off, it amounts to about 3 weeks of full time work. For my other projects I'm just writing everything to a single typescript file and compiling it with tsc, works like a charm and zero dependencies!
