Why can't we use proxy or a new global object call StrictType, or a new
property call definePropertiesType on the global Object
Than we could use the syntax style of the language :
Object.definePropertiesType(object,{
age:{type:Number},
name:{type:String},
height:{type:Float}
});
All of these additional feature will make the language hard to learn. Adding
on these new syntax in hope to please other comming from other programming
language. No matter what it'll never be 100% familiar to others that's come
from different languages. It becoming bulky in my opinion.... Pretty soon will
be in the same boat as w3c.
...it's almost like "who every can make the most specific, understandable,
detail proposal will get the feature included in the language."
