Typescript is absolutely coming to dominate the field IME. Obviously I have no true idea about the relative use % everywhere but I haven't worked at a place in the last few years that wasn't at least trying to use it. There's enough legacy JS out there to provide work for people who hate static types for many years though.
fwiw "Gradual typing for Smalltalk"
Just a small correction, you likely meant to write s/Gradle/Groovy.
This is... just wrong.
Plenty of people are using JS without any sort of typing whatsoever. Other dynamic languages, like Clojure, Gradle, Elixir, Pharao (a smalltalk), just to mention a few, are still going strong.

wasm is mostly being used as a target for C(++), Rust and even C# programs that want to run in the browser. It's there to expand the reach of the browser. Most JS projects don't touch the stuff.
