This is huge! For me the one thing preventing Typescript to replace python is the lack of availability of CV ML libraries. WebGPU and this kind of libraries changes everything

And operator overloading. TS code tends to look like this `c.add(b.add(a))` or `add(add(a, b), c)` instead of `a + b + c` as you might write in Python.

That was my biggest pain-point with using TS for graphics related projects. If operator overloading existed, then TS would be a no brainer for entry level graphics + AI/ML projects.

Edit: This gets more complicated when doing operations that force you to manually respect PEMDAS. For example, `add(div(a, b), multiply(c, d))` in TypeScript would simplify to `a / b + c * d` in Python. The TS version is unreadable.

I actually think that tagged template strings in JS/TS could be a much better version of operator overloading! https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...

This would give access to any math notation in a more flexible way, implementing a custom DSL in a type safe but expressive way.

Imagine writing stuff like

const result = math`${a} + ${b} / ${c}`
