proposal-enum

There isn't much of a difference between regular enum and const enum when it comes to the usage of the enum keyword. The big difference is what they compile to - where const enum evaporates by inlining the values into the usage sites. enum is a keyword that is reserved in ECMAScript and therefore may one day clash with TypeScript. It's unlikely any ECMAScript-defined semantics for enum would match today's TypeScript enum. So it's not on any standards track. There is already a proposal for JS enum that has different semantics to TS enum, and it was created by someone on the TypeScript team: https://github.com/rbuckton/proposal-enum So the const form doesn't really change the hazard.

Does anybody here know where to go to have conversations with the TypeScript team about adding browser features to better support TypeScript? A lot was happening back in 2018. A Googler put together a proposal to add ignorable "pluggable" type annotations to JavaScript, which would allow browsers to run TypeScript directly without transpilation (and without type checking). https://github.com/samuelgoto/proposal-pluggable-types And a member of the TypeScript team at Microsoft put together a proposal to add enums to JS. https://github.com/rbuckton/proposal-enum Neither one of these seem to be active. What happened? What would it be like to get these landed?
