Most of the perceived value that Typescript brings will probably fade once js gets type annotations [1], though Typescript will always have more advanced syntax and capabilities.

There are interesting discussions about Typescript becoming more of a run-time type checker, which would be opt-in and have significant performance penalties, but would give more guarantees of type safety.
