Hello everyone By now I think a lot of you might have noticed something was different with me lately, and I've been meaning to approach the subject but it's taken me a while to get the courage to pull the trigger.

I’ve recently worked on a Vue application after working for a long time with React, and more particularly with React and Typescript. While I felt right at home in Vue 3’s Composition API given how similar it feels to React Hooks, I did miss the ability to easily use Typescript purely for props validation... or so I thought.
