A better way would be to do like Arnavion said, for really global libraries you should create a .d.ts file and put this line in it: declare var somelib: any; Done. Now the compiler and everything else will know that there's a

It would not be an error if not for `addToList(cats, new Dog())`. Based on that call, Flow infers that `cats` has to be a `Dog[]`, not `Cat[]`.

The old plan was to enable it in Fx 44 (the one that was just released). But a couple of bugs caused a delay and it was pushed back. It was just enabled in nightly/dev builds [0], so Fx 46 will probably have it. [0]: https:/&#x2F

That's all true. It's a chicken-and-egg problem there, though. I've seen several arguments that the language is not worth looking into until more typings become available, and of course those naysayers are not going to write

TypeScript is very nice. The one main problem it has is lack of type definitions for third-party modules, some developers find having to "waste time" writing those defs themselves to be quite bothersome.

One thing worth noting: MooTools, Prototype.js and some other libraries were fond of extending built-in object prototypes. jQuery wasn't. ES7 wanted to introduce an Array#contains method. But due to prototype extension issues like htt

With that approach, the module loader needs to know which version of a module to load for you when you require() something - in the general case that can't be done without parsing your package.json . This would require changes to node

Nitpick - Grunt is a task runner, Gulp and Brunch are build tools, Webpack is just a module bundler, it's not a full build tool - it's more a replacement for r.js than for Gulp (and it's remarkably faster than r.js). After tr

React can do strongly-typed views. I use Typescript, and I can build the DOM either in JSX or by nesting React.DOM.div() and friends, and the Typescript compiler will yell at me if I use an event handler/variable/etc. that does no

That's a valid approach, but "Good old Make" is only good if you are already familiar with it (and its quirks). If you're a new-ish web developer, "learning Make" and "learning Gulp" are two equally f

You can write a replacement for gulp in Perl 6, but if it doesn't have the plugins, who will use it? Grunt and gulp have huge plugin ecosystems, which is both a blessing (you can find ready-made plugins for a lot of tasks) and a curse
