Patronizing? I've mostly switched to TypeScript from CoffeeScript for the time being, because types are indeed a huge boon, but a better syntax is meaningfully helpful and my preference any day would be for some merger into typed CoffeeScript.

Yeah, I guess TypedCoffeeScript would be better than just one or the other.
For what it's worth, I've found that F# has a similar 'feel' to what I'd expect from a typed CoffeeScript. I'm not sure exactly why; it's probably just the look and shape of the code, along with the lack of brackets.

Writing React apps in F# using Fable is pretty nice, too.
