LGTM!

@penalosa @admah @lrapoport-cf — @tsmith512 and I just realized that links to workers.new/typescript are still redirecting to Stackblitz, not to the Playground.

[penalosa]

@irvinebroque This was intentional so as not to break old links. We can definitely change that behaviour though?

[irvinebroque]

I see. Right now none of the examples on Stackblitz work, and in order to get them to work, have to continue to use Wrangler V2. My only opinion is that we should direct people to something that works.

@irvinebroque do you know where these links are coming from? Stackblitz doesn't work with wrangler v3+ and may not anytime soon. The other issue here is that our playground doesn't currently support TS, so redirecting users using this URL (workers.new/typescript) is also not the best option IMO.

[penalosa]

@admah they're defined within the workers.new package, I think. I wonder where they're actually used though—do we reference them on the docs or anything like that?

[admah]

@penalosa I don't see any mention of /typescript in the docs. It looks like all current docs links for workers.new are Stream related. Of note, traffic to /typescript is extremely limited. Maybe it's only internal use?

[tsmith512]

Yeah, on further review, this seemed to be something only Stream had in DevDocs. Someone on Discord pointed out that one of them was broken, which I have fixed (ref #4157) but that's when I realized they're all like this. (cc @dcpena for our call coming up)

[lrapoport-cf]

to close the loop, is there any action requested here?
