> Meanwhile [...] typescript, [...] is [...] more than typesafe enough language.

For someone who hasn't worked with a statically typed language yet, perhaps. But someone who knows and works with Haskell would disagree here.

Depends. I also work with scala. Yet somehow I don't need monads, functors, applicatives, etc on the frontend. TS with the right strictness flag enabled, is a good, practical middle ground for now even though I hope a good compile-to-js/assembly will be useable soon (I still have yet to try bucklescript/reason for real)
Since you work with Scala ... have you tried Scala.js?
