Yes I agree with you. tern.java support async completion for instance to avoid freez Eclipse when ternjs takes time. > > The attractive points on typescript compiler was it actually provides > a bunch of services for IDEs that could allow us to replace the > corresponding outdated JSDT ones.

See https://github.com/ternjs/tern/blob/master/bin/from_ts The https://github.com/cloud9ide/tern_from_ts project host several generated tern JSON Type Definition generated from TypeScript definition. tern.java could provide an action to generate JSON Type Definition (by calling from_ts) from TypeScript definition. > Anyhow, this was a quick experimentation on my part and I am not convinced > it is the way forward > > >> To be honnest with you, I don't understand what you mean with "Can be used >> as an alternate to tern.js".

Yes Acorn and espree follows this specification.
