Typescript portability

[Rafik-Belkadi-Reccap]

I understand that Google has mentioned plans to eventually port this to other languages. However, in practice, Python and TypeScript are the two ecosystems where this kind of SDK is most needed.

We currently lack a robust SDK like this for TypeScript applications, and given how widely TypeScript is used in modern web development, it would be great to prioritize support for it early on. OpenAI took a similar approach by initially releasing their SDK for Python, which made sense, but still didn't release a typescript equivalent

Would love to see TypeScript support considered from the start—it would make a huge difference for adoption in the JS ecosystem.

Thanks for the feedback. Typescript is definitely on our radar. We can't promise a date yet, but I'm sure it will come.

@boyangsvl check the YouTube comments, a lot of people requesting this.

[anthonylhowardjr]

Yea. This needs to be expedited!!

[BleedingDev]

Agreed. I think TS and Python should be default for releases of such tooling.

Is there anything we could help with, @boyangsvl? It doesn't make sense to start from scratch if you are already cooking something.
