I am not sure I would agree in defining TypeScript a whole new language. It is a superset of JavaScript and you can think of it as "extending" JavaScript.
If JavaScript is a truck, TypeScript is the trailer. It doesn't do much on its own.

Also, as Nikhil said, TypeScript doesn't reach the final user!
In React or Angular you can include it in devDependencies, for example.

I will checkout the Ladybug Podcast though!:)
