I'm not sure it'll end up like CoffeeScript, as its syntax is nonetheless quite similar to that of JavaScript. It mostly does a good job of being an "addition" to JavaScript, unlike CoffeeScript which looks like an entirely new language lol

Its popularity means it's also probably not going anywhere soon. Nonetheless, I do agree that it looks a LOT like C#... C# devs probably have a really easy time getting used to TypeScript lol
