On: Node.js adds experimental support for TypeScript

[sgammon]

Sure, but Kotlin is to Java as TypeScript is to JavaScript, which is the point I am making.

That’s not even remotely true.

TypeScript is a direct superset of JavaScript. Any valid JS is a valid TypeScript.

If Kotlin is what TS to JS, then so is Groovy, Scala, Clojure and other JVM languages.

Kotlin on JVM is a direct superset of Java on JVM. Any valid Java is also valid Kotlin at the bytecode layer.
