With flow, you just gradually add typings and fix the resulting type errors. It's way easier to slowly integrate types file by file rather than rewriting everything. Moreover I think that at the time there were no statically typed languages that targeted web.

Java has targeted the web since forever. Ditto for C#.

  By target web, I meant compile to js with good interop. I.e. no languages like elm, purescript, reason, ghcjs, kotlin, etc.

    Reason/ocaml-bucklescript's js interop is actually very good -- it's one of the nicest FFIs I've ever seen.
