After reading the the forall you could have a runtime type checking in plain js then just use dead code elimination for your production builds to remove it.

The gen-io-ts approach is pretty flexible and like the idea of defining types in jsonschema or swagger. Dogstack projects wouldn't have to adopt TypeScript but they easily could if they wanted. I also see benefits in defining entity types in jsonschema as the source of type truth and leveraging the schema for an auto CRUD form interface builder a la Rails or Phoenix
