Try upgrading TypeScript to the latest version. It seems like the isTypeAssertionExpression function got added only recently to TypeScript, which we are using inside svelte2tsx.

@jasonlyu123 should we maybe fall back to using a "handcrafted" version of that function? As an alternative we can also just check for the existence of this function. It will "only" prevent people from getting the <any>foo to foo as any transformation. I think I'm slightly in favor of the latter solution. Edit: I chose the latter solution for a simple fix. If you think that's crap we can switch to the handcrafted function.

Thanks. Problem solved :-)
