Since Typescript I wanted a Coffeescript with gradual typing. But I'm not sure if Civet isn't going to far into foreign syntax and shorthands for many things.

Since Typescript I wanted a Coffeescript with gradual typing. But I'm not sure if Civet isn't going to far into foreign syntax and shorthands for many things. It probably won't share fate of Coffeescript. It won't get popular, influence TS and JS and fade into obsurity due to mostly fulfilling it's goal. I'm afraid it won't get popular enough to do that.
