Which is why I said marginalization. Knowing Javascript is important, but I believe a savvy team will jump on one these languages to turbo charge their productivity.

Possibly, but you can argue the opposite. I've seen a bit of commercial TypeScript and it's been horrific and to me just matched the anything but Web/JS approach I was expecting.
I'd also worry that the TS community itself would risk marginalization, end up as a small niche ghetto, with most of the interesting stuff going on in ES7+.
Hard to be sure but I wouldn't write off JS just yet, people have been doing it for years as new/better (flash/silverlight/compile to JS) technologies have promised to make it seem soooo 90s.
