Yes: If JavaScript gets type annotations then there's no reason for TypeScript to exist. No: TypeScript remains the best language for structuring large enterprise applications. TBD: The existing user base and its corpensource owner means that TypeScript isn’t likely to reach EOL without a putting up a fight. I hope they both die. I mean, if you really need strong types in the browser then you could leverage WASM and use a real programming language.

Developers craft software that both delights consumers and delivers innovative applications for enterprise users. This craft requires more than just churning out heaps of code; it embodies a process of observing, noticing, interviewing, brainstorming, reading, writing and rewriting specifications; designing, prototyping and coding to the specifications; reviewing, refactoring and verifying the software; and a virtuous cycle of deploying, debugging and improving.
