Why I built ts-match: TypeScript branching in the era of coding agents

Short summary

The author introduces ts-match, a TypeScript library that simplifies pattern matching on discriminated unions—especially useful for agent event handling. It uses a fluent API to make branching logic more readable than switch statements while maintaining full type safety. Already proven in OpenWaggle, an open-source coding agent, where it manages complex event streams and state transitions.
