You're right, it's not as bad. But the metaproblem here is making the assumption that the global environment is not going to add new APIs. In the case of Angular zones, if addition…

Another vote for Typescript here. For one because it's a really nice modern type system that doesn't get in your way too much. Also because if you're already familiar with node, yo…
