I think everyone who wants typing is using TypeScript, which is ES8 with optional typing.

Nobody in the JS community wants to make typing mandatory.

Typing could be perfectly optional like in the ES4 proposal 10 years ago.

Using TS is great for pure JS, but certain libs like Vue are still problematic. A "native" solution would be much better than TS or Flow.
