Why?
If anything, this gets vanilla JS users more comfortable with types in their JS. That seems like a win, and a good gateway to more strongly-typed languages.
Even if other languages aren’t actively benefiting, does it hurt them in any way? They wouldn’t even have to make any changes to their compilers; their compiled JS would stay just as valid.
The benefit is not to just Typescript users and advocates; the benefits are for everyone who wants more sanely developed JavaScript. Seems pretty good.
