Yes, it's probably a better idea to improve WASM than add a proprietary format (TS is by Microsoft) to the open browsers. Google tried to do the same thing with Dart and it was decried about a decade ago, so now they use it for Flutter.

I think it will be great once support is broad enough.
It might, ironically, increase the current fashion for framework churn, but at least there will be no single language for developers to derride.
In fact, I wonder how ECMAScript will fare in a post WASM world... I suspect it would still thrive tbh. Or perhaps people will take to other flexible, expressive languages for UI development. Like Python's niche in computer graphics, or Lua in games and AI research.
I can still see myself using JS in that future. But not for everything.
