Same here, exactly for those reasons.

Non platform languages introduce those extra layers, while bringing along their own FFI issues, idiomatic libraries and other set of issues to care about.

I only use TypeScript alongside Angular, as one could somehow consider Angular to be the platform, for anything else Web related, pure JavaScript with script tags (yes I don't bother with JavaScript transpilers either).
