Typescript: We need a typescript interpreter

[DricHao]

We need an interpreter or engine that natively supports ts

[j-oliveras]

Something like Deno?

[DricHao]

@j-oliveras no,when deno is running, in addition to starting a v8,and you need to start a TS compiler.Escape ts to js.So, we need a natively supported TS engine to avoid that.sorry for my english

@DricHao you are looking for https://github.com/TypeStrong/ts-node. Of course, if you mean server-side. If you mean frontend, then it's not possible

[RyanCavanaugh]

Hard to believe it, but it's been proposed before #10380

[DricHao]

@anurbol oh thank you guy!

We need typescript support directly in browser to avoid the need to compile typescript in js before use....

[anurbol]

@mcarbonneaux we'd need a time machine for that, I guess :)

[mcarbonneaux]

why not ? why developp this type of language and not integrate it in browser ? why not update Chakra engine to support typescript ?

some are trying to do... https://github.com/denoland/deno

I also agree that typescript should eventually replace JavaScript
