I am a HUGE coffeescript fan. What I liked about flow was seemingly unobtrusive typing/type hinting. I am not a fan of type-strict languages because I spend more time thinking about types and contracts around them than milestones/design goals. Anyway, to each their own. I want "Unobtrusive Typing" to be a thing.

Plain Javascript is valid typescript. You can add types where you need them, via type declarations or jsdoc comments. Typescript is easy to use in a partial way, the type system only gets complicated if you turn on all the strictness settings and have to explicitly annotate every type, even in dynamic code.
