After using ES2015 patterns for a while now CoffeeScript looks utterly barbaric in comparison. That said it's really for Ruby programmers (or those who know/want to know Ruby) who write JavaScript so I guess it will continue to fill that void.

It adds no utility outside of that niche anymore however.

TypeScript is great but I honestly prefer ES2015/ES6 + Flow comments. It means I write native JavaScript (ok, for now a transpile step, but that will go away in time and I'll still have valid JS code) but get all the benefits of typing like in TypeScript.

However TypeScript is still pretty awesome, though I find the syntax rather verbose.
