This discussion reminds me of Java and C/C++. In those days, we used to write messy programs in C. The language works well if you want to write some targeted libraries. It becomes really difficult to write complex software. I think Microsoft Windows has thousands of engineers to maintain their C codebase. Java appeared on the market. It's a big change. It really brought out the goodness in Object Oriented paradigm. It made software engineering more rigorous. Most enterprise software made the switch to Java. They need the reusability of Java. Microsoft came out with C# to counter the rise of Java. We have the same situation here with JavaScript and TypeScript/React. React brings structure to the messy world of JavaScript. But it also incurs the cost of traditional enterprise software engineering on the web development. I expect performant libraries to continue in plain JavaScript. Reusable web components will move to TypeScript/React. It's exciting to have better technologies to use for our projects. I don't think one will diminish the other. They'll both co-exist.
