Do you know if the Javascript type annotations is progressing? I didn't hear anything after the initial proposal.

They held a meeting a few months ago so it's alive but probably still years away.

I don't have the source at hand but I remember seeing that they wouldn't support it until it had progressed as a JavaScript proposal. Their reasoning was that the decorations API is really weak, and it will likely be changed meaning a complete rewrite of the TypeScript decorator implementations.
