is it just me or using element type like :Int here feels weird?..

Not sure what you mean, that's the whole point of the ... syntax?

not sure, i think every language i saw so far use the array type for the actual rest arg local var. as i said, maybe it's just a habit, but to me this reads like rest is an Int, but it's actually not, I don't know...

Well, at least Java and Kotlin do it like this. I hadn't ever really noticed that TS and C# do it differently, probably because I use varargs so rarely...

I really don't understand why we support ... in function definition, function f(...rest:Int) {} isn't clear at all imo

It's not too late to cut it out :)
To me it looks consistent with allowing call(...collection) at call site.

Kotlin seems even weirder in that regard (fun f(vararg rest:Int) and then f(*args)) :)
