> Typescript (...) is still a poor experience compared to using a first-class typed language.

I personally don't agree. I have coded in C# and TS extensively, and while first-class types available in runtime (especially with generics <cough>though not in java</cough>) is super nice, I think the benefits of looseness of TS overweight the costs. Also, you can always go crazy and use zod or io-ts, but in that road there's always the danger of just writing types and not doing any work because "typing is fun"(c).

I spent a couple of days trying to make an app work in typescript before thinking "I'll just give Scala.js a quick try, not going to spend a lot of time on it", and to my surprise everything just worked perfectly.

I'm happy to hear that, even though I'd personally refrain from getting myself into a Scala codebase again :) (IMHO, it goes further in the "typing for typing's sake" direction). Because of my existing skills I'd probably use Blazor, if I'm going that way.
