Can't put my finger it for you, but it defn doesn't feel as good. Perhaps because it needs to interop with javascript, and js objects are all over the place with types.

It's the price of backwards compatibility with JS.

One could completely forgo that, and come up with PureScript or Elm. But then one can't beverage most of the existing code.

Same tradeoffs as what Kotlin and Scala make for Java's sake.
