๐Ÿง  Interface vs Type in 2025: Which to Use and When?

Still debating interface vs type?
โœ… Use interface when:
โ€“ You describe objects
โ€“ You want better compile time
โ€“ You need declaration merging
โœ… Use type when:
โ€“ You define unions, tuples, or mapped structures
โ€“ You need flexibility and composability
๐Ÿงฉ My rule: Start with interface; switch to type when shapes get advanced.
