J B, You’re entitled to a dissenting opinion. However, this archives one of the best moments for the evolution of the language. It was a commitment to focus on deliberate, consistent, incremental change. We are realizing the rewards for the Harmony agenda today with property descriptors (which formalized and exposed an existing concept), new collections, and Proxies. The cesura on namespaces have provided an opportunity for much much more deliberately designed modules. Innovation has returned and the pace is good, neither hasty nor stagnant. That said, note that your sentiment has been graciously heard. What you are asking for is well-represented by rigorous research going into TypeScript, which is very closely aligned with work and proposals that came out of these discussions. I believe it is fair to interpret Brendan’s last sentiment, “This again puts unsound warning "types" outside of the standards track for a while. But carry on with TypeScript etc. — TC39 is tracking”, not as “no”, but as “not yet”. Kris Kowal
