Before you start talking about what to put on your resume, I'd look at what job descriptions are asking for. I haven't seen many asking for ClojureScript or TypeScript yet.

TypeScript (and to a lesser extent CoffeeScript) seem fine to me, but ClojureScript looks very different to JS. I'd always advise someone to learn JS first, then your compiled language of choice.

Which is why I said marginalization. Knowing Javascript is important, but I believe a savvy team will jump on one these languages to turbo charge their productivity.

Possibly, but you can argue the opposite. I've seen a bit of commercial TypeScript and it's been horrific and to me just matched the anything but Web/JS approach I was expecting.

I'd also worry that the TS community itself would risk marginalization, end up as a small niche ghetto, with most of the interesting stuff going on in ES7+.

Hard to be sure but I wouldn't write off JS just yet, people have been doing it for years as new/better (flash/silverlight/compile to JS) technologies have promised to make it seem soooo 90s.
