Recently I've been loving the combination of discriminated union types and nullable types. As a side node, the FlowType system for JavaScript has had these features for over a year now, while TypeScript 2 is still in beta. These are the exact features which made us decide to go for FlowType instead of TypeScript 6 months ago. Happy to see that these two type systems now converge.
