## Resource

This week we talk to David Blass, the creator of ArkType, a runtime validation library for TypeScript. ArkType goes against the mold of other TypeScript validation libraries by using a syntax that is as close to native TypeScript as possible. It's packed with interesting features and has made David a TypeScript performance expert. https://bsky.app/profile/ssalbdivad.dev https://arktype.io/ https://github.com/ssalbdivad https://arktype.io/docs/blog/2.0 Apply to sponsor the podcast: https://devtools.fm/sponsor Become a paid subscriber our patreon, spotify, or apple podcasts for the ad-free episode. https://www.patreon.com/devtoolsfm https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/devtoolsfm/subscribe https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/devtools-fm/id1566647758 https://www.youtube.com/@devtoolsfm/membership
