Of course I want it to get better. I just don't necessarily agree that a type-system = better, particularly in the way in which it's been suggested. Especially when you aren't talking about changing the internals regarding how JS is executed or how data is represented, you are only talking about adding "comments".
JavaScript has evolved as an untyped language, it has type-coercion and a single way to represent (most) objects in memory. So regardless of what kind of syntax you add on top... it will still be a untyped dynamic language internally. Are we talking about changing this truth? Or just adding additional syntax for developers?
