I think this is actually still on the pragmatic scale. Start with normal JavaScript. Gradually add typing. When you hit a point where it's sufficiently typed, and the situation calls for it, you can increase things further to Safe TypeScript. There doesn't honestly see to be a contradiction here, and I for one am psyched.
