I don't think it is fair to say that TypeScript is not in common use and TypeScript has a way more complicated type system than Java and C++, particularly since it uses structural typing rather than nominal typing.

I was thinking the same thing about TypeScript too. It's certainly catching up, and its a great way of having a gradual shift from dynamic to static types as your requirements crystallize.
