Evolution of the Heroku CLI: 2008-2017

I predict they will come to the conclusion that they backed the wrong horse with Flow over TypeScript; v7 will be written in Scala or Scala.js .

There is the odd sense of randomness to the choices in all these CLI upgrades. Can't quite put my finger on it. It brings to mind the saga of Wasabi.

I think the idea with Flow is you just have JSDoc type annotations, so you get strong typing without transpiration.

There is a comment convention where you can add Flow type annotations and definitions to vanilla JS:

    x /*: T*/
    
    /*::
    type T = {
      ...
    }
    */

But in practice I don't think it's pushed as being preferable to the invasive syntax.

I believe TypeScript has the JSDoc feature as well, although it's much more recent.
