TypeScript doesn't contradict your quote. It isn't a "clean break" from JavaScript in syntax or runtime: it's a typed superset of JavaScript, unlike Dart which is a similar looking but fundamentally different language. Look at how cumbersome it is to interop with JavaScript from Dart.
In fact, it's closer to JavaScript than _CoffeeScript_, whose slogan is "it's just JavaScript".
TypeScript is what you'd expect from an organization who believes JavaScript is mostly good: a very conservative extension addressing some of the larger pain points (tooling and modularity).
