I can not wait for the day till JavaScript can be thrown into the fiery pits of hell and we can just use wasm or even have the browser just support typescript natively.

    Most likely never going to happen.

    TS for all its benefits are still an MS product and like all other similar attempts will probably mot get accepted for native implementation.

    And wasm was built explicitly to NOT have any api’s to outside except to the js environment.

    I do not see that as likely to go away either.

    Won't ever happen. JS will be here as long as Java will be here.

    Only thing that will kill it is a global hardware architecture change and removal of browser support.

    I expect not typescript to become nativley but javascript implement similar features one day. Both syntaxes will be similar but not entirely the same. Than, there will some guys still using typescript while other shout at them 'use tha plattform', 'stay vanilla' aand what not. And yes, good old old typescript code which looked so cool and modern once will have an aura of deprecation and decay compared to ES29 or whatever. And then, at one point every typescript related question will be answered with 'typescript still exists' while some apologists still point out it's supriority against ES29. And then, one day Microsoft suddenky drops typescript and switches to native. Someone tries to continue it as open source project but the contributions are sparse. So it will become a myth. Young devs will say to you 'incredable, you remember typescript!' but a strange hooded fugure at the bar would mumble 'i even remember jQuery.'

    1) If your codebase is TypeScript, you won't be using JavaScript, so you don't need to touch JavaScript!

    2) TypeScript is just an extension of JavaScript. If you hate JS with a passion then TS isn't the answer really.
