Announcing TypeScript 1.8 Beta

"For example, for a quick ES6 to ES5 downlevel conversion using the TypeScript compiler, you just need the following command: > tsc --allowJs --outDir out target_file.js"

Is the intent here to allow tsc to be used as a replacement for babel?

I don't think so. Last time I checked they don't do any polyfills, instead relying on commonJS for that.
