What Hacker News says
4 sourcesEagerly awaiting AsyncAPI Support: https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/issues/2463
AsyncAPI support would make TypeSpec the end-all/be-all API spec tool for a lot of people.
TypeSpec looks amazing - but until we can go "all in" on using it for both our external and internal API, it's difficult for the team to justify yet another new DSL. It's needs to support all of our common API definition woes, and currently it only addresses 50%.
In Microsoft TypeSpecOriginally this project also advertised support for GraphQL, but never implemented it: https://github.com/microsoft/typespec/issues/1390
Would be compelling to have a way to represent both OpenAPI and GraphQL in a common upstream schema...
In Microsoft TypeSpecIt does not exist, but it will be worked on fairly soon. You can track progress on GitHub [1]. It will be as you suggest - a one time conversion, after which you can iterate. We have this workflow for inside Azure, but the converter is Azure-specific (e.g. converts to TypeSpec that uses our extensive Azure-specific component library). It will take a bit to generalize.
