I learned about this project by YDKJS author Kyle Simpson in the latest episode of JavaScript Jabber[1]. A few folks on the episode, Kyle included, seemed to hold a somewhat negative view of TypeScript, since they seem to like JS&#x27;s dynamic typing (note, I do too), as well as other some other reasons they go into in the episode.<p>Kyle mentioned this project he&#x27;s been working on (Github[2]) which aims to add type checking at both compile time and runtime. Curious what you all think about this project, and its merits of downsides over vanilla JS or TypeScript.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devchat.tv&#x2F;js-jabber&#x2F;jsj-438-you-dont-know-js-yet-with-kyle-simpson-special-announcement-at-the-end&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devchat.tv&#x2F;js-jabber&#x2F;jsj-438-you-dont-know-js-yet-wi...</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;getify&#x2F;TypL" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;getify&#x2F;TypL</a>
