On: Higher-kinded types: the difference between giving up and moving forward

[tengbretson]

I really hope that higher-kinded types can be brought to TypeScript. I really want that kind of power on the front-end, but I can't count on getting an entire team up to speed with PureScript.

If TypeScript had these features would it not be as hard to get up to speed with as PureScript? Thus why not just get up to speed with PureScript. I believe in you and your team :)

Not sure about TypeScript but with Flow you can get HKT through some contortions https://github.com/gcanti/flow-static-land (in Elm too)

Why not ScalaJS?
