Nooooo. Python's the clearest front-runner in the Perl replacement game. I wish it were Ruby, but it's pretty clearly Python. TS changes too fast and requires too many tools, it's not even a serious contender in this category, though I much prefer it to any of the above for large programs.

Python has some semi-decent type hinting, these days. It's not so bad, it'll keep you out of most of the same trouble that TypeScript does.
