The only reason typescript has gotten the massive adoption is because its a superset of JS. If you remove the js part then it wont grow anymore!

It seems like the main market for the language is education, specifically a high-level language for ARM-based arduino-compatibles, but with an SDK that can be hosted on a browser for easy distribution on school computers. Microsoft can use the nuts and bolts of their existing typescript compiler, which happens to be able to run in a browser, to implement the language.

It worked pretty well for C++.

Assuming the same support as it got from OS vendors and third party C compiler vendors in the early 90's, surely.
