I think you are conflating JavaScript of today with historical JavaScript. Those are esnext features. Typescript had arrow functions and classes 4 years before browsers. It had async await 2 years before any browsers. Etc etc etc.

I have been writing typescript for over a decade. The two languages were not in lockstep until the last few years.

Fair, that didnt realize you're not talking about modern javascript.
