Unfortunately I won't likely be able to attend today due to TC39.

I've commented on a few of the agenda issues (; "pure mode" is the one i have the most concerns/constraints about, and regret missing the most, but I assume it will take a number of meetings for a decision to be made?

For "types", I would strongly prefer that the names "typescript" and "flow" not be permanently reified in the packument as keys (they're fine as values), since this set of 2 type systems will not stay constant over time (more may be added, and some may fall out of usage).
