However, I currently don't see much advantage in having the

I think these are very good choices. I prefer to really invest
in learning and developing on D simply because the resulting
code is more easily redistributable, because you get more bang
for the buck when optimizing it, because the developers are
generally better coming from the C++ world and being hobbyists,
etc. And also, D is more promising. A lot of things can happen
to deprecate Dart, or TypeScript development completely.
Nobody/nothing's ever going to deprecate D, if anything you'll
only see the smarter devs being less afraid to pick it up and
bring it further.
Btw, just found about this:
https://github.com/dart-lang/dev_compiler/blob/master/STRONG_MODE.md
Basically a typed subset of Dart that transpiles to clean
Javascript (EcmaScript6). Not finished and production ready, but
might be interesting to see if there is any help in there for
transpiling other languages to Javascript.
