At this point, it make senses for someone to write a TypeScript definition to Flow definition converter. Given how similar the languages are, I feel like you might even get away with using hacky Regex-based transformation instead of using ASTs for a lot of libraries. I never did understand why Facebook and Microsoft ended up competing on this front.

> I never did understand why Facebook and Microsoft ended up competing on this front. They ended up competing, but they did not start competing. The projects were started in isolation from each other. The fact that they are written in different languages (Flow: OCaml, TS: TS) makes it hard to merge efforts.
