This sounds like its just Typescript evangelizing. But while I love types, Typescript kind of sucks and sucks the fun out of writing Javascript. If I am going to add a compilation step to get types, I would rather write Scala or F# and compile to JS, then you also get rid of all of the warts of JS that Typescript doesn't get rid of.

Have fun stepping through your incomprehensible generated code in dev tools. (Except Dart which has really good Dev tools support; I guess they can poke the right people to make it work.)
