Go is the new darling child, and once wasm is in Chrome, it's going to get very big, very fast. And if they manage to polyfill to regular js (assuming that's still the plan - I haven't kept up), that's the end game maneuver.

For front-end, well, TypeScript 3.0 just came out...

Sorry, didn't mean once wasm is in Chrome; it's already in Chrome. Meant once wasm is officially in Go. That version (1.11) is due to be released soon.
