Did you ever try Scala.js? I was a huge fan of how fully it was just standard Scala and therefore well-supported by IntelliJ; I've not seen any other compile-to-JS language match that level of IDE experience (but as someone who was already a Scala fan I'm biased).

A bit of an open door maybe, but TypeScript has that level of IDE experience too.

It didn't when I tried it - IntelliJ does support it on some level, but doesn't offer the same depth of automatic refactoring etc. that you get with Scala, to the point that my colleagues generally favoured using VS Code.
