Ah I love Typescript (IMO JS is the best "scripting language" out there, and has been for a very long time, but that's a different discussion).

That said, I hate that typescript has many ways of doing it. That's the biggest problem.

There's:

    enum SomeEnum {
        First,
        Second,
    }

    const enum SomeConstEnum {
      A = 1,
      B = A * 2,
    }

    type SomeEnumType = "first" | "second";

    const SomeObjectThatIsAnEnum = {
        "first": 1
        "second": 2
    } as const

I always lean towards the `enum` keyword, because I am of the opinion that if you're optimizing for less generated JS (and enums are actually worth optimizing for in this way) you're probably using the wrong language to begin with (unless you're in the browser and have no choice, etc).
