This eliminates a significant number of dependencies, eliminating all npm audit issues, speeding up `npm ci` by 20%, and overall making the build faster (faster startup, direct code is faster than streams, etc) and clearer to understand. I'm finding it much easier to make build changes for the module transform with this; I can more clearly indicate task dependencies and prevent running tasks that don't need to be run. Given we're changing our build process entirely (new deps, new steps), it seems like this is a good time to change things up.
TypeScript
TypeScript is a language for application-scale JavaScript. TypeScript adds optional types to JavaScript that support tools for large-scale JavaScript applications for any browser, for any host, on any OS. TypeScript compiles to readable, standards-based JavaScript. Try it out at the playground, and stay up to date via our blog and Twitter account.
