Could you state the problem more concretely? Javascript is a cross between Java and Lisp, having a Java-esque C-like syntax, and lisp-like function-as-a-first-class-citizen behavior. Typescript brings it all the way to C#; so the C-like territory is firmly covered. An ML-family language, especially something like Haskell, would only reinforce the admiration for static types. Which languages would lead to the conclusion that dynamic typing is awesome? Lisps?

Oh god you are bending some broad aspects to back it up that Javascript has all of greatness from every other style of programming. No, it doesn't. I don't think it works like that. It's like a p10 of jack of all trade.
