This provides plenty of value conceptually, but I wish they were able to push the syntax into a more intuitive place. My biggest gripe with Relay is how forced the syntax feels, and this seems better but still confusing. Take for example this component declaration:

export const PostCard = ({ post: postRef }: { post: ViewRef<'Post'> }) => { ... }

That feels terrible to me! I don't have any suggestion from my side, but I feel like there's got to be a less awkward way.

    You don't have to rename the variable. You can also do this:

    ```

    export function PostCard(props: { post: ViewRef<'Post'> }) {

      const post = useView(PostView, props.post);
    }

    ```

    If you add a few aliases (that can be easily generated), it becomes this:

    ```

    export function PostCard(props: { post: PostViewRef }) {

      const post = useView(PostView, props.post);
    }

    ```

    There are many bits in fate worthy of criticism. Naming and typing React props really isn't one of those.

    At least complain about something specific to the project and not generic TypeScript syntax.
