There will obviously always be apps written in other languages, and in those cases, a bit more type …

So, when you say "the application and database types are automatically equivalent because the entire data pipeline from frontend to database uses the same exact types and definitions", can that apply somehow to python and rust client libraries too? What about "all write operations on the database are done in embedded functions"? For the python and rust client libraries, do you write these embedded functions in python or rust, or typescript/JS? Do you effectively have to write a specialized update procedure in typescript for every update you want to do? This starts seeming harder to spin as an advantage if you aren't typescript in the first place. ("A custom stored procedure required for every update" is actually not something anyone's been looking for!) The OP arguments seem to me to be written assuming you are writing typescript in your app, it's unclear to me how the advantages …
