To clarify, I wasn't trying to convince you to use TypeScript, just saying that it's taking a larger share of the compile-to-JavaScript crowd, along with ES2015, both competing with ClojureScript.

I would like to clear something up, though. TypeScript is not very much like Java, in my experience. To me, it feels like programming in JavaScript but with type annotations where you want them. If you think that TypeScript will make programming like Java, I'd encourage you to at least reevaluate that position.
