I don't think this applies. I don't believe anybody else was doing what TypeScript does when it was released, that is JavaScript + Type Safety. Even today the only other real contender is Flow.

What jbrantly said. I love JavaScript and I love optional static typing. That's exactly what TypeScript provides.
