In last month's column, I walked through the two syntaxes for defining "function datatypes" in TypeScript. I showed the JavaScript-like syntax, which looks like this: var FirstName: (cust: Customer) ...

Why do most programming languages only return a single value from a function? Wouldn't support for more "natural" outputs be better?

HTMX is the HTML extension syntax that replaces JavaScript with simple markup. It could change the course of web development.
