After writing Clojure & Clojuresript for a few years, any language that spins around its syntax would feel terrible. Modern JavaScript looks like a 400-pound diabetic who brags about his skin folds, "check this out man, I can hide two full-sized cans of beer and you wouldn't even know it..."
What's the point of this cabalistic trick with commas? How does it improve anything about code? Readability, parseability, formatting, reasoning? I feel we're moving towards the day when the browsers would mark websites with a badge "built without use of JavaScript", so we know it can be trusted.

I code typescript every day. I don't really hate javascript. This is terrible.

You can still do this in Typescript.
I never implied you couldn't? I was just saying I'm not a javascript or typescript hater.
