Type Safety
Type safety is a programming language feature that helps catch errors at compile time, making code more reliable and maintainable.
Overview
Type safety prevents many common programming errors by checking types at compile time. Languages with strong type systems like TypeScript, Rust, and Haskell help developers write more reliable code.
Type safety improves code quality, enables better IDE support, and makes refactoring safer and easier.

Key Concepts
Static vs Dynamic Typing
Understand the difference between compile-time and runtime type checking, and when to use each approach.
Type Inference
Learn how modern type systems can automatically infer types, reducing boilerplate while maintaining safety.
Type Annotations
Master the art of writing clear, helpful type annotations that document your code and catch errors.
Generic Programming
Use generics to write reusable, type-safe code that works with multiple types while maintaining type safety.
