Yep, I realized and regretted saying that after I posted that - there certainly are typed languages on the front end, but at some point or another they are all very disconnected from Javascript itself. I feel with Typescript you get both a user-configurable level of type checking combined with the cowboy coder flexibility of Javascript - I guess that's what I was aiming to say. Whether that's a good thing to others is up to them however. ;)
