interesting thanks for the heads up - my assumption is though that this is just a wrapper over a V8 engine with typescript compilation on the fly?

Does that make it a TypeScript runtime or not?

V8 is a JavaScript runtime that compiles JavaScript on the fly, so it seems reasonable to say that a runtime that compiles TypeScript on the fly is a TypeScript runtime.
