Is TypeScript a fad or is my manager delusional? (feddit.dk)

I was talking to my manager the other day, discussing the languages we are using at $dayjob. He kind of offhandedly said that he thinks TypeScript is a temporary fad and soon everything will go back to using JavaScript. He doesn't like that it's made by Microsoft either.

I'm not a frontend developer so I don't really know, but my general impression is that everything is moving more and more towards TypeScript, not away from it. But maybe I'm wrong?

Does anyone who actually works with TypeScript have any impression about this?

This just blew my mind. I had always assumed Java was older. I started writing hobby projects in Java in the 90s. I don't think I heard about Python until the early 2000s.
