Zod and tRPC are some of the most important projects in the future of TS imho, I think we're gonna see a beautiful bloom of tRPC inspired DX across the TS space in coming years.
Two projects already have clearly have tRPC DNA attacking different use cases are Ping's UploadThing (https://github.com/pingdotgg/uploadthing) and our Lusat (https://github.com/lusatai/lusat).
Another annoyance is that the type of validation errors varies depending on what kind of schema you’re checking against. This makes it unpredictable to handle errors and there’s always too many edge cases.
Lots of room for improvement.
The new valibot.dev looks cool but I haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for any insight!
But schemas for what?
From: https://blog.logrocket.com/schema-validation-typescript-zod/
Most common use case I’ve seen is using schema validation for user input (like forms) so you don’t send junk off to the api, you can validate data at runtime (whereas typescript checks your types statically when compiled).
Matt is awesome! If you have any more questions I’ll do my best to answer them.
