1) Put JS in maintenance mode, don’t add any language features, only runtime

2) TS becomes the official mainline, whoever doesn’t like types can just keep writing as they did before, because valid JS is valid TS

Problem solved, it’s not that difficult.

That would be a case of out of the frying pan into the fire. Not really better.

Call it ES2026 officially and let other people devalue MS' trademark as they refer to that (and later versions) as TS.

Wasn't that a copyright issue? I thought the point of contention is that Google allegedly copied Oracle's API design when they re-wrote Java for Android.
