Yes we want to do that, though cross language and cross library is not easy. Mathematica has the advantage that they do not really distinguish 
the language from the sodlib.

Well you see what I mean, the types helps, of course naming arguments is necessary. 
But for a name like action_name_is_or_callback is not super nice. 
The types in typescript docs are also link so it’s easy to read, and you can get deeper
details without looking at the source.
