Goodbye TypeScript, hello native typing for JavaScript

JavaScript seems an unlikely compiler target, forced on us out of the odd historical success of JS on the browser. I'd think that a better target would be to make a VM like WASM.

If WASM were a viable target today, I'd agree, but it isn't yet.

Transpiling to JS is ready for production and widely compatible with all browsers already.
