This is so, but Tyepscript has a pretty good support for that.

TS doesn't support higher order types. You can't return a generic and pass its parameters later. It's basically only a single level of parametrization.

``` type MyGeneric<TParam> = ...; type HigherOrderGeneric<TParam> = TParam extends string ? MyGeneric : never;

type Hey = HigherOrderGeneric<string><number>;

```

There are libraries that try to achieve this through some hacks, tho their ergonomics are really bad.
