I don't understand this. TypeScript is not a different language. It's just JavaScript with some type annotations. If you had never used JavaScript before and learned TypeScript you could immediately write plain JavaScript as well.

Typescript has grown into way more than just "JavaScript with some type annotations". It's a much bigger superset with lots of language features that JS doesn't have.
