Flow

It's hard to build smart tools for dynamic languages like JavaScript. Flow understands your code and makes its knowledge available, enabling other smart tools to be built on top of Flow. Making major changes to large codebases can be scary. Flow helps you refactor safely, so you can focus on the changes you want to make, and stop worrying about what you might break. Working in a codebase with lots of developers can make it difficult to keep your master branch working. Flow can help prevent bad rebases. Flow can help protect your carefully designed library from misuse and misinterpretation. And Flow can help you understand the code you wrote six months ago.
