I was looking at google's new node SDK for gemini.

I like this "disjoint types" pattern. A very good way to make your TypeScript very readable + meaningful, I have used something similar, but not with the "never" trick.

Discriminated Unions are a good feature, if only typescript had a better way to actually identify the type (I know it’s javascript’s fault it can’t, but I still wish it did)

Oh to have first class type reflection! Yes.

There's been talk of reflection from early days in TS, and every time I've investigated it's been some cack-handed thing that was just way too wobly to base anything solid on.

This seems completely possible, something like bundling "type maps" inline like "source maps"

Couldn't you use a custom type property to identify the type? (i.e. InlineDataPart { type: "inline" }, TextPart { type: "text" })
