A comment on Deno: JavaScript Runtime for V8 Written in Rust.

I thought Deno was supposed to be Typescript native?

Edit: It still supports Typescript (since TS is a superset of JS it can be a native runtime for both, right?).

Deno does transparent compiling and caching of TS into JS. This allows interesting behavior such as the ability to import TS files with explicit .ts extension in JS files, e.g. `import A from "https://example.com/a.ts";`

No, it just supports TypeScript out of the box.
