TypeScript drives Javascript standards which lag what TypeScript can do now often by 5 years. That's how slow Javascript really is.

MSFT is one huge player and no slouch on creating compilers and continuously improving the language.

Anders Heljsberg is an industry icon.

TypeScript can easily mix in pure Javascript.

Even Google deemed TypeScript an approved internal language.

All TypeScript becomes Javascript functions anyway giving 100% safety.

Design time intellisense is over the top awesome and a major time-saver.

If a person can speak 2 languages instead of one they have less narrow options.

TypeScript is so similar to C# that moving to web assembly is easy.

The best part about TypeScript is that it irritates Javascript bigots.
