   Some people were doing that before TS got async/await compilation directly to ES5 (in TS 2.1). Right now, having Babel in the TS pipeline is not that useful anymore.

   You rarely have Tabula Rasa developers - average developer is probably proficient in Java and/or C#. I would say HM type inference is a non-incremental "hard sell" improvement, but it depends on the target audience :).

   Huh, the benefits are immediately tangible, the biggest one being less code to do the same thing while remaining typesafe. In the meantime, you probably need slightly , but not massively, better developers.

   For something fun yet with that elusive 'real programming' edge, play around with Rust.
