Resolves as MULTI between Rust, Python, and Typescript
@bcongdon Just because I am a big fan of Typescript. Not a perfect language because of the JS roots, but it has made JS programming so much more palitable, and also has some pretty nice type tricks you wont even find in C# or Java that were meant to be statically typed from the beginning! For example the & to join two existing types (intersection I think) and | to join them as a union. It kind of has the 'nice' bits of Haskell without all the really hard stuff.
