Oh god I hope not. JavaScript is hopefully here to stay, and will remain the runtime of the web together with WASM.
TypeScript is a neat idea for enterprise companies where engineering standards tend to not be that great, but that doesn't mean we should lower the possibilities of the current runtime to the lowest common denominator.
