When I write libraries meant to be imported in other projects I usually write type definition files for the public interface, since some typing is still better than no typing, but I do feel that TypeScript is considerably lacking when it comes to typing functional constructs. I wish that TypeScript had brought us algebraic data types and pattern matching instead of classes and private methods.

Typescript doesn't have algebraic data types? It has type unions and intersections. What else does it need to qualify?
Totally agree pattern matching would be awesome though.
