Re:Announcing TypeScript 2.2

(#13708541)
I like Flow and I am actually using it right now, but I also see some negatives
It still feels like very much in beta. Things break often along the edges, there are things like interfaces that work only sometimes, the modules are always working strangely
Also, and that might be a personal thing, but for me, TypeScript itself has a more readable source code, since it's in TypeScript. Flow is in OCaml, which I cannot read.
On the other hand, I like how Flow is very "thin", and how I am just using ES6 with types "hints" on top; that's why I prefer Flow.
