I am looking into TypeScript right now and I think it's just a hard problem to integrate a typed language into a dynamic environment like JavaScript. The transitions between JavaScript and the typed language will always be tricky and error prone.



Typescript does a better job than most that I've seen.


PureScript doesn't do a bad job either. And even Haskell (GHCJS) has good FFI into JavaScript (I'd argue even better than PureScript!). How bad can you make interop between a higher-level language and JS? What are the bad examples?


Agreed. Anders Hejlsberg has repeatedly shown excellent taste in programming languages. See C#, Delphi and Turbo Pascal.
