I'm glad the JSDoc type syntax is still getting some focus. It's my favorite way to use typescript in my own projects. Some of the syntax changes will be annoying to update but most of them seem to be for the better.

I'm glad that TypeScript uses JSDoc and not the hideous XML format [1] that Microsoft's other languages use.

I'm a big C# fan but XML docstrings definitely suck.

We also got stuck with XML-based project files somehow, despite .NET Core/.NET 5+ being a complete rewrite.

This is my biggest annoyance with c#. I've always wanted to try to add jsdoc or something in the compiler. Little more annoying than having to use > and < in a comment
