#3I wish there was a clarification of the differences between the “Dart plan” and the “TypeScript plan”. If I had to guess I’d say the Dart approach is a whole new language that transpiles to C++ while the TypeScript plan is one that augments the current language with useful additions.

#4I’m not a frontend guy but heard that typescript is already falling off and contentious at this point. Is it truly something that’s going to stay?

#5I understand that being a Microsoft employee there's always am incentive to promote Microsoft initiatives, but I feel that it's disingenuous to describe this sort of initiative in C++ circles as "TypeScript for C++" when C++ originated from "C with classes", which is the same transpiling-based approach but without Microsoft marketing attached to it.
Also, I think that promoting a new programming language as "TypeScript for C++" is a marketing move to try to force their way into a market share in spite of the language's merits.

Where have you heard that? Because Typescript is the defacto standard right now. Projects like bun and deno cement that status further.

Typescript has a lot of momentum on all fronts and is almost certainly the future of Javascript.
The big problem is that it still requires transpilation, which can set up all sorts of shitty traps. Not to mention that the Javascript ecosystem in general is a horrendous mess, which Typescript on its own can’t fix.

And Circle and cppfront.
Edit: of course this is about cppfront :)
