Stoked for this preview/beta release of a new typescript SDK. It's baked entirely around bringing your own lexicons, and includes a CLI for fetching them from the network and generating code. The DX is also so much better, and it includes tools like tree-shaking.

in a sense it's like i suddenly inherited a codebase and have to make a change in it. but even if i know my way around it, there were many small decisions that wouldn't quite match mine, and the feeling is uncanny enough that there's real mental resistance to tweaking it. i feel unusually lost
