Are you sure it isn't also the fact that it's historically had a tiny community of open source hackers and TypeScript has all the momentum of MS behind it?

- jdmichal 11y agoI'm sure that also plays into it. Though DefinitelyTyped was started by someone who AFAIK is unaffiliated with MS, and I would say that is pretty critical to its success. I should have specified that the above is the reason I would choose TypeScript over Haxe now. There's a lot of times when I will prototype a project in vanilla JavaScript, then set up the TypeScript build infrastructure and start enhancing.
