Why don't Flow or Typescript count? Our team uses TypeScript, mostly C# devs, it's been great. The main issue getting definitions for some less common libraries. We haven't been using immutability.js because of the back and forth overhead between regular JS and immutable objects. Instead we use mutation checking of the Redux store during development you can make sure nobody is stomping on it by accident. |

That's one problem. The other is discipline. It's just way too easy to opt out of the type system. It shouldn't be a problem, but in the world of deadlines where every single front-end dev is intimately familiar with writing plain old Javascript, it is. All it takes is one manager that's a bit pushy, or one urgent production bug, and your codebase is on it's way to turning into a pile of shit.
I do love type systems, but IMO they have to be part of the language, it just doesn't work as an optional addon.
