At the moment JavaScript, because I need it for my job and it actually is a very useful language for usage with or without a browser as a client. It is very flexible, which can be good and bad.
I know, that your own answer is short and can be understood differently, but let me add to it, that TypeScript actually is not more strict (for my knowledge), because you still can write "bad" JavaScript, which would be valid TypeScript. It just offers you new possibilities in comparison, so you can e.g. use static typing, but you still can use dynamic typing, too.
