I'd be shocked if Milescript got traction without it being inflicted on developers from above.

Milescript turns Javascrpit into Java. Whilst many developers don't have a problem with static typing, none I know of like the verbosity of Java.

An ML or Haskell styled Javascript might fare better.

I'm not sure I agree--it's certainly verbose, but to me it feels more like C# verbosity (which I find helpful and often nice) than Java (which is often obfuscatory).
