  1,306 98,060 9.9 TypeScript

  TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that compiles to clean JavaScript output.

  

JS' big killer feature isn't its type system, however it's what supposedly makes TS so great. Saying TS' type system being garbage is okay because JS' type system is garbage is almost comical. TS' whole point is to add sound type safety to JavaScript, which it fails to do. It has inherent variance issues that have been in discussion for multiple years now.
