No kidding. I thought you were being facetious but reading the changelog it's clear that most of these would typically have been in a high-priority 3.4.1 release as a number of them are blocking (now there's code that compiled under 3.4 with nary a warning that won't compile under 3.5).

Right. Just read the changelog. It's literally regression fixes on compilation performance (which is introduced by typescript to begin with), and providing work arounds to do things typeless when new syntax feature XYZ is launched.
I'm getting a lot of flack on this thread but I stand by my judgement that working with typescript is slower and more frustrating for frontend work than standard JS.
My experience is just and anecdote, but I'd make a considered choice to pick typescript over minimal JS frontends. A large portion or this is based on my previous experience, so that is what it is.
