It's generally done by having the new "extended" version be so superior that others can't stand using the original anymore.

- moron4hire 10y agoNo, that's not how that works. EEE refers to the times when Microsoft would take an open standard--say HTML, or JavaScript, back when IE3 was actually the best browser on the market--shove in their own, proprietary, backwards-incompatible extensions, and keep calling it the same thing as the open standard. But MS makes it very clear that TypeScript is a different language. It helps a lot that they don't even have the same name, y'know. Also, it's a system for specifically staying backwards compatible with open-standard JavaScript. Using TypeScript does not replace JavaScript. It supplements it.
