Superset language for ObjectScript

With the coming of dynamic objects I feel that at this point we need something that ressembles TypeScript. So my suggestion is for having a superset language that can be transpiled to either classes or routines, whichever fits the bill.

The idea is for allowing usage of languages features that might not be currently aligned to InterSystems's ObjectScript plans such as interfaces, generics, type-based literals, callbacks and stronger type validation.

Why not just improve the ObjectScript language itself? Because segregating the language into a superset would allow the community to adopt features quicker than the product release cycle and that would also allow InterSystems to survey the adoption of those features, like a field experiment.
