Is there some proposal for making the type syntax valid? No type checking just JavaScript parsing code with types and ignoring it.
How will Deno react if that happens?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I am not aware of any specific proposals right now. There was some talk a while back about supporting SRI hashes inside of an import map, but that sorta dissolved. For Deno at least you can use a `lock.json` file with the `--lock` and `--lock-write` flags: https://deno.land/manual/linking_to_external_code/integrity_...
There's an issue for that to be added as part of import assertions https://github.com/tc39/proposal-import-assertions/issues/11...

Will there be a Deno equivalent of Electron?
Aaron@Deno here, we've been exploring something with the Tauri team but don't have a concrete release on the roadmap since we're focusing on other priorities. I believe an Electron alternative is an important part of the Deno stack, so hopefully we'll ship a first iteration next year.

Yes, this would be great, and it will probably happen eventually. This is something we want to work on soon - expect something in the coming weeks.
Since TS/Deno has native support for JSX syntax, do you think Browsers will eventually support it as well?
If you want a "no compile" JSX:
```jsx
const x = hello;
// is the same as
const x = h("div", { color: "red" }, "hello");
```

Types in TypeScript are great but if JavaScript ever wants to add types it has to be something like a real programming language types in which you can use types in runtime as well. Like in a catch clause I can assert the type of the error and do things with it once that assertion is done. Many other useful things when types space and runtime space are not totally separate. ES4 was the first shot at adding types to Ja…
There are a few languages where types only exist (for the most part, though with exceptions and hacks here and there) at compile-time, like Rust, C++ or even Haskell IIRC.
Hey - I am Luca Casonato, Deno's new delegate at TC39. I am happy to answer any questions you all might have :-)
Do you have discussions about not adding too many features to JavaScript? It's already quite complex for beginners.

When cross platform windowed WebGPU on Deno? It would be interesting for many kinds of apps.

TypeScript is great and everything, but Microsoft owns the standard and the single functioning checker, and haven't published a specification or even a grammar.

I hope the pace will accelerate. The real questions is what functions we need though. Some candidates that I would love to see are better helper functions on iterators, and Uint8Array base64/hex. Most of the "standard library" in most languages is related to IO, and for JS is dependant on the host (the web, Deno, Node) so not something TC39 will touch directly. Do you have ideas for standard library functions that yo…
I often miss map, reduce and filter on iterators, though this is already a stage 2 proposal: https://github.com/tc39/proposal-iterator-helpers .

This is definitely something I am interested in pushing too. Iterators have not gotten the love they deserve.
