Good grief.  Three lines of attribution.

I repeat: It’s attribution _line_, not attribution novel.

Enclosing the search term in double quotes excludes those hits.

That is what Microsoft is saying (actually, they now say it is a “typed 
superset of JavaScript”) and Wikipedia is parroting.  It is not necessarily 
true.

Besides, it is not obvious that the correct answer to the question asked 
here is “Yes” even if TypeScript should turn out to be a conforming 
implementation of a *specific* Edition of ECMAScript (likely ECMAScript 
2015).  In fact, it is very likely that it is not a conforming 
implementation of *all* Editions of ECMAScript (“the ECMA-262 standards”).
