    1. Stop it github.com/giltayar/proposal-types-as-comments If you want to use a different language, you're free to do so. JavaScript has ready suffered enough from the Ruby and C# people.

    This proposal is misleading - and I think it's intentionally so - it's called "types as comments". I would vehemently be opposed to strict typing in JS under any circumstances, but "as comments" implies it can simply be ignored, or even stripped from the source.

      This is NOT that. The proposal suggests that types be inlined into the source by using a colon (:) and the type. Removing this junk will require full AST parsing. The intent is not to add on to JavaScript in a simple, additive way; it is to force everyone to use Typescript.
