I think the one think that TypeScript needs to get it going is modularity. If another project like [harp](https://github.com/sintaxi/harp) could use TypeScript as a library and could compile the code without having to result to system commands would be a great thing. However, I think if someone came up with a system to add optional typing through the use of string literals it would be awesome. That way we can have perfectly valid JavaScript with the benefits of certain JavaScript engines and type checkers. The string literal would be before a function declaration like: "add(Number, Number) -> Number"; var add = function(x, y) { return x + y; }; That would basically specify that the function takes two numbers, and returns a number. This system would not replace a language like TypeScript, as TypeScript provides much more functiona
