Hope that works for you (GWT sure didn't) I'll be just a wee bit contrarian on this, as I started out in my career using a more or less dynamic language in the mid 80s (despite being schooled in Pascal and later, C, which deserves its own discussion).

I greatly appreciate the brevity of the JS code itself, though I do freely litter my code with JSDoc (or JavaDoc, on the back end) comments. Short code, long comments. Please, WWW entities, DON'T make JS into a Java-like, OOP only, monstrosity. I seldom write real classes in JS. Its amazing what you can do with currying. Supply first few data args - don't need a constructor/setter(s) to configure a "one trick pony" class. Pass in and pre-bind a few function args - don't need an abstract base class. Wrap a function around an existing function - emulates OOP aspect orient programming. I forgot to add, at least one IDE vendor, JetBrains IntelliJ (or Webstorm) does an excellent job of inferring types in Javascript, as is, and much of the autocomplete; find definition / usages; refactor stuff works just fine without jacking up the language.
