In all seriousness, we need to organize a special task force to lynch people who complain that "it's not just JavaScript". They are the reason nice syntax like newtype constructors and methods on these primitive newtypes isn't getting added.
Why do the people actually using TS every day have to suffer just because of criticism of those who haven't been onboarded yet, and maybe never will?

No lynching! Just hugs!

I think that anything on the side of type annotations is fair game.

Hug them until they realize the error of their ways!
