TypeScript has a rich type system. Can we use it and create code that's cleaner than the original Python code?

Optional --> TypeScript union types?
Numeric types --> Can we overload +, -, *, and so forth to make the code look more like math?

Overloading isn't supported. TypeScript unions fully in use. Good enough.
