Actually TypeScript is an excellent language (in my view) for targeting native code. It reads cleaner than Java, C# and even golang in many cases - at least to me.

For example, JS/TS's file-path based imports are more intuitive; several languages do it via explicit namespaces when well-written code is already organized into directories. Of course, all of these design choices are subjective. In fact, disagreement with a few people in the C# user community is one of the reasons I started this project.

Another example - top level functions, being able to export them trivially etc.

I'd like to know what makes TS convoluted. Here's an example of multi-threading: https://github.com/tsoniclang/proof-is-in-the-pudding/blob/m...
