Ask HN: Any interesting forks of TypeScript (or languages inspired by it)?

• awesome-typescript-derived-languages

  Projects which have taken "TypeScript" and made it more than just 'JS with Types'

Here is a listing of some TypeScript derived languages: https://github.com/orta/awesome-typescript-derived-languages

Of those, Static TypeScript has been of particular interest to me, but it seems either out of date, or the info available is.

• pxt

  2 2,035 9.6 TypeScript

  Microsoft MakeCode (PXT - Programming eXperience Toolkit)

  

Just to add to this—the reason I find Static TypeScript particularly interesting is that it is a Microsoft project:

https://github.com/microsoft/pxt/tree/master/pxtcompiler

Compiling TypeScript to other targets is a significant challenge, so I think that in order for a project to become a viable alternative, it will need the resources of a big company like MS behind it. However, I'm not sure if MS or any other company currently has a great incentive to invest heavily in that. Running TypeScript on Node or Deno is good enough for most applications, and for apps that require better performance, MS already has C#, which was architected from the start to be performant (for example, allowing apps to use just value types / structs so that the GC isn't used).
