What I've witnessed with TypeScript is that 30 line CoffeeScript file is now 150 lines.

Who cares about Coffeescript? It's dead. Why bring in coffeescript comparisons?

CoffeeScript exemplifies some of the benefits of JavaScript that tend to be lost from the TypeScript perspective. I'm not recommending using CoffeeScript right now. Simply that JavaScript has some of those characteristics and they aren't as distinctly bad as one might believe.
