What is the best way to replace "pure" JavaScript?

Question

JavaScript

I got rid of JQuery and other things a long time ago, replacing everything with a self-written library that repeats the necessary functionality of JQ ( $(element).on("click", function () { }); , for example).
Now I'm already a little tired of "pure js", in which the execution of many things turns into an ugly hell or its semblance, bicycles, which (in theory) should work faster in my case, etc...
Once again sitting down to write code ran into the same problem and decided it was time to change something.
As far as I understand, CoffeeScript and TypeScript have already lost their popularity, and ES6 has become a trend, but what else is there? Accidentally stumbled upon Dart, which can translate to JS (not loopedonly in this language)... And what to do when IE8 support is required, for example? How many have not read about ES6 - they write that it is broadcast in ES5, which the eighth donkey does not understand ...
What is generally better to choose? What do you use in your work? As a result, I want to have pure js (without connecting huge scripts on top, which in total weigh more images on the site).

Answer 1

А когда TypeScript успел утратить популярность? Сразу после выхода ангулара в релиз?

Answer 2

трендом стал ES6

ES6 это стандарт с соблюдением которого и пишутся библиотеки,а не что то особенное. Та же JQuery
