Like other compile-to-JS languages such as coffeescript, I don't think it has enough to offer over plain JS to justify its existence. Coffeescript was great because it drove a bunch of language features into consideration for ES6, but actually writing in it seemed like more pain than it was worth.
Consider being in the situation of being in charge of a large coffeescript codebase, today. No thank you.
