The top 10 contributers being from MS
(https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/graphs/contributors), if they
decide to stop the project, no one will be able to continue. More a
marketing trick than real 'open source'. To me, 'open source' means that
many devs from various horizon is able to take over the project and even
the lead.

Being open source guarantees that it can be forked and that we don't end up
in the dead end that VFP became. But there are other options for strongly
typed JS available. It is just that being associated with MS means that it
has stronger support, whereas other open source projects can simply dry up.
