I had been thinking that WebAssembly or CLR could be the target for TypeScript and that would allow to bring her own base class libraries etc.

But if you look closely again, the beaut & wide adoption of TS is because it has no "runtime" or no extra libraries or APIs to learn. Its the JS.

This also makes it easy to iterate quickly on Type System and bring new features. Having its own runtime means, that wouldn't be easy.

But I completely agree that TS right now has perhaps one of the best and most intuitive Type System than any other language.

Interesting referencing a programming language as a feminine article like that... Not saying it's wrong, just unusual to me.

People downvoting an observation on a curious use of language? If it's because of some perceived political motive, then that's really sad.

I really did just wonder why anyone would anthropomorphize a programming language, by ascribing a gendered pronoun to it.

My native languages has gendered objects, and "language" is feminine. Might be the same case
