Okay, so it *sounds* like your proposal is that ES allow the TypeScript syntax of writing variables declarations as "name:type", and treat the :type part as a comment? If you're interested in "typing that look like comments", you can do that today; Python2 defines a reasonable syntax in Pep 484 <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0484/#suggested-syntax-for-python-2-7-and-straddling-code>. ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
