> Microsoft also seems to be prioritizing Typescript and Node internally with its recent moves.

You may want to look at Blazor Webassembly (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/apps/aspnet/web-apps/blaz...) and Blazor United (https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/asp-net-core-updates-i...)

They scrapped the old CLR and started over with a new "CLR Core".

Then they ported the new CLR Core along with the framework BCL to webassembly and has the CLR running in the browser, upon which they built Blazor Webassembly.

So you can now target the CLR and have your code run in the browser.

And now they are making progress on Blazor Unified where components can start of as server-side rendered exclusively and transparently and automatically move to webassembly rendering within the same application or page. It really is crazy stuff.

Typescript is not the only thing going on in MS Engineering.

To be exact, they have three active CLRs: CoreCLR, (Framework) CLR and MonoVM. WebAssembly, Android and iOS apps use the MonoVM because it is optimized on AOT.
