Add Type Definitions

[jpike88]

See title.

@types/async definitions are way out of date, would be better for everyone if you guys integrated them into your main project

Agree, it's annoying when encounter outdated type definitions.

Indeed, it fairly effectively prevents any reasonable usage of newer features from TypeScript...

I've considered a re-write in TS (or at least adding Typedoc comments to everything and generating a .d.ts automatically). It would be a lot of work though.

Fwiw there are tools to convert JS to TS. It'll add "any" to any types it's not sure about but it's a bit quicker than doing by hand.

Types would be nice indeed.

Is @types/async generated by you or someone else? e.g. if i notice a specific problem, should i report it as an issue here, or create a PR in the definitely-typed repo?

[aearly]

We don't maintain those. It's all in the definitely typed repo.
