Supersets have more stuff than the base. Anything that's a superset syntax-wise will never be usable in places that expect base grammar; the extra stuff will be a syntax error. > So the big question is can we agree on a superset that stretches the > boundaries so that typescript would fall under that category.

Can you actually explain what you're asking for, with specifics? So far all i can divine is that you want JS to allow some TypeScript-specific syntax (and treat it as comments?), but I don't know *what* syntax you're asking for. All you've done so far is provide TypeScript snippets for us to look at. ~TJ _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list es-discuss@mozilla.org https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
