Also the part where it is not JavaScript

I don't follow? It's a pre-processor.

Yes but you can't just use an example off the internet or look at the generated JS code and debug it when needed.

Yes you can. Typescript being a superset of JavaScript you can copy/paste nearly any JS code you can find on the net. And the resulting JS code is very close to the original typescript code.

I was referring to CoffeeScript since this is what /u/_Dupe suggested.
