tgo Dev log #5: Weaponizing JSDocs, The Stupidity of Hoisting, and Injecting Native Go Power

Short summary

tgo compiler achieved a breakthrough by parsing JSDoc strings from Lodash to auto-generate TypeScript type information, dramatically improving library support. The author advocates for functional documentation (JSDoc, OpenAPI) that drives the system, contrasting with maintenance-heavy dead documentation. JavaScript's variable hoisting is identified as a fundamental design flaw.
