Out of curiosity, are you talking about Typescript? Not really a framework, but I can't really think of a framework that 'won' in this sense for JS, and also compiles to JS.

On the front-end there's Svelte, which is actually compiled with Javascript, and React, which is has the biggest market share of opinionated Javascript frameworks, but at best you could say JSX is compiled to HTML.

On the back-end, there's express, but that doesn't involve any compilation, and is far from opinionated...

Before Typescript there was also Coffeescript. Sic transit. :)

But also things like Vue do their own compiling step too.
