I am looking forward to see some production ready versions of RY latest project Deno "A secure TypeScript runtime on V8"

https://github.com/denoland/deno

Written in Go rather than C++ no less.

Edit: wait it looks like they’ve changed to all Rust with C++ for the libraries. I haven’t looked at the codebase since the spring. Am I crazy that i could have sworn it was written in Go previously?

Thanks guys. I'm out of the loop.

It was in Go, but in Ryan’s announcement, he said he was considering switching, and has since done so.

Cheers, Steve. I missed that.

100% agreed. It was incredibly liberating to move from Babel with its byzantine level of configuration and plugins to "just run tsc". So much easier to reckon with - Typescript is Typescript is Typescript.

For my part, my web projects have generally ended up with both Typescript and Babel because of old-browser-support reasons, so integrated parsing simplifies things for me.
