I keep tripping over
allthingssmitty.com
createUser(user, true, false) works. It's also surprisingly hard to read. Here's why I've stopped writing APIs like this in JavaScript.

    you can have a better data structure in any language, but rarely someone will bother doing that for booleans

      Yeah I do wonder if we need an easier way to declare these things because programmers are lazy and even in Rust I wouldn’t always bother.

      You can kind of do it in Typescript with strings:

      function create_user(role: "admin" | "normal")

      But of course the downside is they are strings at runtime. I’m sure it’s possible though.
