I find the default syntax highlighting for JavaScript and TypeScript to be lacking slightly.

For example, s there a package equivalent to vim-polyglot for Emacs? I have tried Emacs tree-sitter but it seems to overwrite or theme colors.

  • You find the highlighting "to be lacking slightly"? How so? That's unclear - too vague, and it encourages opinion-based answers.

js2-mode has been my recommendation for a while, though I don’t believe the original author is still maintaining it. There is also a js3-mode which I haven’t tried yet; I believe it has some improvements over js2-mode.

  • Is js3 maintained? The version from MELPA is 20160515.1550 and the github site hasn't seen an update in seven years. I tried it, had problems, gave up and went back to the builtin js.el just to get things working again. I'll try js2 at some point...

  • Does it need to be maintained? Has Javascript changed much since 2016?

  • I guess not, but Emacs certainly has: the problems I had were trying to load the darn thing into Emacs.
