There is a proposal to add optional type annotations to JS: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-type-annotations
But I’m wondering: Wouldn’t be better if browsers supported type stripping (like Node.js etc. already do): It feels cleaner to me.
JSPM already supports client-side type stripping (if a file has the filename extension .ts): https://jspm.org/docs/cli/
