      _atjn > it's a mess to set up and maintain That's a feature, not a bug! The reason it's so hard is that JavaScript is not a typed language, and adding a type system on top of it is REALLY hard and necessarily complex. That should be a warning sign, not the impetus for formalizing it

    _atjn When ES added the niceties from Coffeescript, and the browsers standardized bits of jQuery, those were obvious additions that smoothed out missing APIs. Adding a type system (that's ignored by the engine) is not a missing API, it's a different language.
