I think javascript is plenty fast these days. My only problem with Typescript/Javascipt is the toolchain is very complex/confusing to someone on the outside. In my experience, Rust/Go or even python is easier to get into if you're not living it every day. Besides familiarity, I'm not sure why someone would choose Typescript for non-web work.

The TypeScript typesystem is pretty great. And there's always JS to escape to if the typesystem fails you.
