Are you kidding? Please tell me your estimation of how many developers write in ES6/ES7 without using Babel or other transpiler???
You don't really need to tell me what Types are about, I have a long standing C/C++ background. And I really don't need Typescript. I use dynamic type checking based on ES3, does the job flawlessly already for years. Very rare for me to have a type related bug. I'm always wary of people that preach Typescript; what code do they write to get in so much trouble with types?

omg.. 'forced', this is bad.
I'm only looking forward to webassembly, that will be the real game changer and the end of JS as we know it.
