Not sure what you mean by “clearest”, but TypeScript is the best typing system ever invented.

For 1 simple reason - it is flexible enough to have just as much typing as you want in every case.

Is there any other popular language that can be statically and dynamically typed at the same time?

That's a very bold statement for a Javascript layer that allows unsound typing behavior. While Typescript introduces some typing functionality please do not compare it to actual languages that type check properly.

Sorry, we, simple down to earth developers, have had enough of that "sound" bullsh*t! :)
