As a PM on the team, I actually _share_ your concern! ;) In fact, we're very mindful about the cognitive overhead of new features, but we're also motivated by pragmatism. These features have been highly demanded to help them write

We definitely want to implement it! But many parts of that specification are still in flux, so like you said, we'd like to see the proposal stabilize first to avoid problems.

Or to go all-in - we have a `--strict` flag that gives you `noImplicitAny`, `strictNullChecks`, `noImplicitThis`, and a mode that always puts you in `"use strict"` mode.

Hi Alex (I have an email from you that I have to respond to)! TS guy here. We've had discussions around this and the reason we use our own AST format is for compilation speed and editing scenarios, both of which our team really focuses

There's already a way to consume TypeScript through its API and inject a custom transform today, so a lot of the machinery is already in place.

TypeScript's full error message on that last one is actually Type 'Boolean' is not assignable to type 'boolean'. 'boolean' is a primitive, but 'Boolean' is a wrapper object. Prefer using

Thanks for catching - I've updated the blog post. I tend to just use `strictNullChecks` by default, as it's typically the best option for any new code. :)

For the record, you're not forced into it at all. I'll mention that in the TypeScript compiler, we use very few classes at all - it's mostly written in a function-oriented style. TypeScript tries not to impose any sort of r

TypeScript PM here - the reason for that is that when we implement a feature in TypeScript, we take lengths to ensure that it is typed appropriately and that its performance characteristics are reasonable. That means that when using object

Hey, I'm the PM on the TypeScript team and I'm curious to hear about the issues you ran into. async/await already works in TS 2.0 when targeting ES6, so you should have had a good experience in that respect. Feel free to DM m

Hey, I don't see TypeScript as being behind on control flow analysis or anything like that. If you're referring to differences in the way TypeScript narrow types based on control flow analysis, we don't see one as being &quot

We've got some of the documentation out now. You can see more at https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/declaration-fil... . When submitting PRs, new files will need to be written for the `types-2.0` bra
