This is going off-topic, apologies.

Yes, of course, re using TypeScript or Flow. However ... I'm not a fan of TypeScript -- if I'm going to use a different "language" (albeit one that's a transpile-able thin veneer over JS) I may as well switch to a language w/ an even better type system.

Flow, from the little I know, is closer to what I want -- still JS, but an annotation or "compilation switch" makes everything typecheck.

Same here. Flow is great though and you can use it without annotations too, just not as useful.

Ha, funny -- clicking that link leads to a page w/ this message: "This page is unavailable when linked to from news.ycombinator.com. Please find a less toxic place to spend your time." :-)

The link works when copy/pasted. Let me read.
