And what is the deal with AtScript? If you are going to randomly "fork/borrow" a language you can at least consult the original authors. Typescript is inspired by C# not Java, so those are attributes - not annotations, and they are in square brackets not start with an @ character. And it's called 'reflection' not 'introspection' in C#.


Well.. annotations in VB.Net use <...> not [...] ... in the case of JS, [...] is deeply tied to arrays in the mindset, so using @ makes sense to me.

Honestly, I'd like to see some clear examples of how to consume/check for said annotations. Also, getting them in at least V8 in addition to traceur will go a long way.
