This is an excellent hindsight-2020 project, and the concept is overall an improvement on Node, but I'm afraid the ship has sailed and Node's momentum is too high to stop. Not that mainstream usage was ever its goal, it was basically a proof of concept for Ryan Dahl to demonstrate how he would do things differently if he could start over, and that yes, it would be demonstrably better than Node. On one hand I wish TypeScript got more love, but on the other hand its inherent unsoundness kind of makes me want something like ReasonML[1] to win out in the long term instead.
