Current thoughts on TypeScript, type safety, and its competition/presence in the ecosystem?
One alternative that I found was flow, thought haven't used it. There is a bevy of languages that transpiles to JS, though some seemingly lost their attention over time. Can the bridge to WASM contribute to this or is that digressing from the topic?

Typescript vs Flow? and why?
I think you are mistaking Flow unmaintained for Flow actively maintained.

Interesting ocaml mention in buck2 by fb
Hack and Flow are also written in OCaml.

I'll offer my two cents, since we're all taking another ride on the JavaScript hate train.
So... you're referring to flow?

Deno Is Webby
I do wonder about a future where JavaScript gets non-enforced optional type annotation syntax[1] which is and if said syntax will be slightly incompatible with TypeScript. That would be a little awkward for Deno, wouldn’t it. However I hope that if JS gets type annotation syntax that it would be a strict subset of TypeScript—or at the very least future compatible—for this very reason.
