I’m not an expert or anything but I sincerely feel like this is barking up the wrong tree.

To anyone who works on typescript/JavaScript outside the context of a web browser, you DO NOT matter as far as I am concerned. If I was in control of JavaScript/typescript, I’d give zero attention to your demands. You are not my top priority. Go away.

I feel like we are losing focus here. Should JavaScript be an all purpose language? Yes. Should we focus on making a web browser context, also yes.

The reason I led with this is that I think it is up to the JavaScript folks and the web browser vendors to include support for this before typescript can change what it emits. Ideally, I’d say wait a couple of years after browser vendors include support to implement this in typescript.
