Announcing TypeScript 1.5

I think they're going in the opposite direction as they've implemented JSX support as a part of TypeScript. I mean, I love what they are doing but sometimes I wish we could have all these features as macros/plugins to something like sweet.js. By the way, IIRC, Babel also supports plugins so in theory, type-checking could be implemented as a Babel plugin as well.

IIRC JSX support is only implemented as parsing and type-checking. There is no JS generation. The output will contain the same JSX, which means you'll have to use a JSX compiler on it.

The Typescript compiler can emit JS for use with React from JSX. This is a good blog post about it: http://www.jbrantly.com/typescript-and-jsx/

You can use jsxtyper to generate TypeScript interfaces: https://github.com/fuselabs/jsxtyper
