Unfortunately, that's not a very accurate analogy. TS also inherits all of JS runtime semantics unchanged, and there's just as much if not more wrongness there.

I wish for a version of TS where I could have === automatically rewritten to use _.isEqual, that way [1,2,3] === [1,2,3] would return true.

In clojure(script) equality works this way. Values are compared and not instances. It makes the language a little bit higher level and more ergonomic. Love that feature.
