=======

Ideas for a typesafe Compile-to-JavaScript language:

  * `val` for constant values (maybe `const`?)

  * Type annotations with suffix `: T` notation (typesafety will be added later)

    E.g.: `val a: Number = 0.0;`

  * Function definition with `fn` keyword instead of `function` (maybe `def`?)

  * Anonymous function definition with `=>` notation

    E.g.: `(a, b) => { return a * b; }`

  * Error on using undefined variables

  * Error on defining variables without modifier

  * `==` will always become `===`

  * `if (a == ???) // ...` will translate to

    `if (typeof a === 'undefined') // ...`

But in general: **keep it simple!** JavaScript doesn't have to change that much

to become much simpler.
