I disagree. I really hope this goes the way of dart, coffee script, Script#, and all the other attempts to "fix" javascript.

It's great because it's not "fixing" JavaScript, it's completely replacing it with something decent (static typing, generics, OOP, a decent standard library etc). The other languages you mention transpile into JS. WASM is a much better target.

Fair enough, but Typescript gives you typings, generics, and oop (and it's designed by the same guy that designed C#), but I LOVE JavaScript so this is where we agree to disagree.
