I would have said only TypeScript has been successful, despite it being backed by Microsoft. ;) (I like MS, but just know many who don't.)

Microsoft is the only company that developed multiple successful languages. They know how to create languages for everything.

No one is even close.

I guess MSVC is the worst compiler out of spite that they didn't create C or C++.

Microsoft has this exceptional engineer on payroll

Anders Hejlsberg, lead architect of C# and creator of Delphi and Turbo Pascal, has worked on the development of TypeScript.
