Loopback-next: Plain JavaScript experience

[raymondfeng]

As a developer that uses plain JavaScript, I would like to use LoopBack Next without requiring TypeScript specific features such as decorators to:

1. Implement controllers/repositories/services
2. Create extensions

UPDATED (2/22)
Discussion with @raymondfeng @kjdelisle:

• need to go through what is supported.
• if it is too aggressive to support JavaScript right away, we can defer from Core-GA.
• bottom line: need to let the users know what is supported.
• a spike is needed

@loopback/cli creates a typescript project. Is there any plain javascript starter available?

[bajtos]

@ansarizafar not yet. We are focusing on getting a typescript-only MVP done first (see https://github.com/strongloop/loopback-next/issues/696). We we look into JavaScript support after this MVP is done.
