Recently I spent 9 months full time doing Javascript building a large application, I was open minded and learnt to like it. But coming back to c# recently I realised just how many leagues better c# was than javascript(I don't dare say this at sydjs).
Typescript bring some really nice things to javascript that c# has but it's still very much javascript(more than others eg CoffeeeScript). I can say TypeScript is amazingly awesome, you get the best of both worlds. Like Coffeescript does, TypeScript will make you a much better javascript programmer.
