Research direction

Start by reviewing the current TypeScript conversion status for function-builder and function-builder-basics. Identify the remaining JavaScript patterns mentioned in the issue, including constructor-typed parameters and duck typing, before choosing a focused scope. Done means the selected portion is converted and the simulation remains functional.

Description

dev:typescript

I've started converting this sim to TypeScript a bit at a time. But it will be more challenging than most, because of certain JavaScript patterns that I now regret using (parameters of type constructor, duck typing, etc.) So I'm creating this issue to track progress and challenges.

function-builder is currently 32% converted, function-builder-basics 13%.
