When I see “stage 1” and “if they stick within a certain reasonably large subset of the language” the cynical old dev in me starts waving a YAGNI sign. :)

- afavour 2y agoHonestly as you read through the proposal the immediate impression is "they're just describing TypeScript syntax", which is... fine, I think? But I do feel like it would be a considerably quicker process for Node to just add the ability to parse a TS file than it will be to go through this formal approval process.
- eyelidlessness 2y agoThe process is standardizing the ECMAScript language. It would make types (as comments) standard for all JS runtimes, not just Node. I don’t think the community at large wants more non-standard Node stuff, as that’s a frequent point of pain and complaint (see OP article as an example).
