I like typescript as it fixes a lot of JS quirks - that's good when you have to write code transpiled to JS.

However coming from languages where types are a first element of the language (c++, rust, go...), I often miss a lot of features in typescript (e.g. type conversion overload, generic specialization, etc...)

I know that by design Typescript doesn't want those features and I understand the rationale behind it. I'm just wondering if I'm the only one in that case and if someone would know a language transpiling (not compiling) to JS more appropriate to my tastes (and hence with different goals).
