I use Teal for Pico8 game development. It's great.

There's also a Typescript to Lua transpiler https://typescripttolua.github.io/

I've used it successfully with Love2d projects (albeit with some quirks)

Lol, that's great.

What are the quirks?

Mostly that Lua datatypes don’t always have great analogs in TS (particularly tables) and you have to be pretty cognizant of what’s going on under the hood.

All of these, too: https://typescripttolua.github.io/docs/caveats

Interesting, what do they do about missing type info? Is there some repo of types for popular libraries?

No idea, probably nothing.

There's the official teal-types[1] project that aims to fill that gap only for standard Lua. I've used the LÖVE types[2] in the past.
