If you're interested in "Lua with types", check out Teal aka "Typed Lua" aka "Tl": https://github.com/teal-language/tl. It compiles to Lua and is available as a single-file Lua module.

Alas, every type in Teal is nil-able, so it really is a TypeScript for Lua.

Which is no small thing, but still, unfortunate.

TypeScript guards against nulls with the flip of a flag. That's its biggest benefit in my opinion.
