TypeScript is a much less verbose and more expressive language than C# or Java, as long as you configure lint rules to exclude some of the crap it inherited from JavaScript it can be pretty nice. Although it would be nice if TypeScript could be compiled to bytecode and pick up 64 bit integers along the way.

Java is a pretty annoying language, typical Java apps are filled with boilerplate. Kotlin runs on the JVM also and is so much nicer.
