Only if you consider the web side.

Backend and frontend in the same language is a massive feature for many reasons, not least performance and uniformity. Adding TypeScript is increasing interface friction and complexity, instead of simplifying things.

Of course, right now this may or may not be easier/harder/feasible with just Nim depending on the project, and many more people know TypeScript, but the ideal of one language > many languages is a worthy one.
