How does it compare to Dart & Harmony (even coffeescript)?

I know that is a long answer, but I'd love a bullet point list of how if compares to the other javascript++ languages that have been coming out over the last couple of years.

Per the spec [1]:

  TypeScript syntax includes several proposed features of Ecmascript 6 (ES6), including classes and modules.
