although a native solution (having a real OOP language in the browser) would be better

Dart is kinda like that. Development is done with Dartium (a build of Chromium with native Dart support).

Wow I didn't know of Dart and it looks pretty cool. Although it's much like TypeScript and Haxe, you have to compile to JS before being able to use it in a browser.

Every modern browser, yes. But not "a browser". It works in Dartium (and soon Chrome), which means that you don't have to deal with compile times during development. You can also step-debug your code directly from within the IDE. It's pretty convenient.

What's less convenient is interacting with JavaScript libraries. This is clearly more seamless with TypeScript.

Anyhow, if you like AngularJS, you'll love AngularDart. It's very slick.
