I am not sure if this is the case, or if it was pushed out by another
high-level JavaScript language, Microsoft's TypeScript. They appear to
have shared a common trajectory to their respective Electron editors
(CoffeeScript was used to write the now stagnating Atom, TypeScript was
used to write the currently popular VSCode).
On that topic, I have contacted the typescript-mode maintainers a while
back and they have agreed to distribute their package on NonGNU ELPA.
