"a potential comment based ES202X official type system that will likely lead to a rapid decline in the need for creating .ts files" isn't entirely on the money. I took a look at the TC39 proposal and the proposed syntax is TypeScript (not to mention authored by TypeScript team). So no one is wasting their time by practicing their syntax now, and when they want to convert they can just tsc to the standard syntax and still use Microsoft's software as a "linter".

I'd say this was always the master plan of TypeScript.

On the other hand, Bun has no such thing; like you say, if you use "bun.x" APIs you might be locked in. Which is pernicious because they market themselves as a "drop-in replacement" but are not quite as good as TypeScript in this regard.
