<p style="text-align: justify;">Doom has seemingly been ported to every electronic device imaginable, including picture frames, lamps, and coffee machines. The meme of “it runs Doom” has become so widespread that it spawned the r/itrunsdoom sub-Reddit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Recently, Doom made headlines again for being ported to TypeScript. The project involved representing Doom entirely in TypeScript, three and a half trillion lines of types, 90 GB of RAM to run, and a full year to complete.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimitrimitropoulos">Dimitri Mitropoulos</a> is the engineer who carried out this heroic feat. He&#8217;s also a developer at Vercel, the founder of Michigan Typescript, and a co-founder of SquiggleConf. Dimitri joins the podcast with Josh Goldberg to talk about what it took to pull off one of the most mind-bending TypeScript projects to date.</p>
