ECMAScript is included, which is the official JavaScript standard

I actually did miss that one. TIL.

Interesting that it's just as nu as TypeScript, despite TypeScript definitely coming after.

I roughly based the nu-obsolete scale on language features not age (or use), TypeScript is just ECMAScript with an optional type safety feature.

I see! So you'd say type safety is system-type feature, then?

That's... not the whole story. TypeScript is very powerful without users noticing. The most widely used feature is probably implicit this binding in fat arrow functions, but also targeted compilation to lower ES standards. It's not just type annotations à la Python.
