I fear that the growing support for half-baked type systems in JS will set back good type systems for another decade (like Java)
@markijbema generics are a small part of the bigger puzzle. Opt-in doesn't help much if ecosystems come to rely on it.

@wycats The ecosystem won't rely on it until some specific type system has 'won', so I'd guess this won't happen soon. -
@markijbema afaict Angular 2.0 requires type syntax, so I wouldn't be so sure. -
@wycats@markijbema is that true? You're supposed to be able to write (mildly convoluted) ES5 Angular apps. -
@theefer@markijbema http://note.io/1u8IYOU feels too convoluted to be practical. Regardless, types mandatory even when convoluted ES5. -
@wycats some have suggested libraries to abstract the boilerplate (say w syntax sitar to Angular 1.x). We'll see how that looks -
@theefer Surprised the Angular team isn't abstracting it. Maybe they don't expect much desire for non-AtScript usage? -
@wycats Or the assumption may be that if it's possible and desired, it will happen anyway? All seems rather early days anyway.

@wycats do you have some pointer on where I should start to read about the rest of the puzzle?Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
