Avoiding Angle-Bracket Type Assertions

The angle-bracket type assertion syntax (<Type>value) is deprecated in TypeScript, especially in TSX files where it conflicts with JSX syntax.

Why Avoid <Type> Syntax

• JSX conflict: Incompatible with TSX files (React, Preact, etc.)
• Inconsistent syntax: Modern TypeScript uses as Type
• Reduced readability: Looks like generics or JSX
• Tooling issues: Some tools don't handle it well

Modern Alternative: as Type
