That sounds like it could bring a lot of benefits. Would, and if so how, that affect people using TypeScript?

I don't think we know enough about where compilation will end up to comment much. I wouldn't expect TypeScript to be negatively affected though (since it compiles to JavaScript). So far, the problems we're noticing are from certain coding patterns or practices within components. However we deal with these (whether we add new lifecycles or encourage alternate patterns, etc) it should hopefully apply equally to JS/Flow/TypeScript.
Obviously, but thanks for the tentative impact estimates :)
