I suspect that Steve Yegge would agree with me that introducing type annotations into JavaScript is a mistake - a cure for the wrong problem as his presentation strongly argued.

Actually he has explicitly listed it as being necessary to make the language popular in his essay "The Next Big Language" which you can find at http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2007/02/next-big-language.ht...

"Rule #2" for what NBL requires is "Dynamic typing with optional static types."
