That was my first thought as well. Surprised to see they're still seeing updates. Also surprised to never see an IronJS or IronTypescript or similar really.

It be weird to see MS make an IronTypescript given that they created typescript.

TypeScript as it exists from Microsoft isn't a runtime engine.

Wouldn't that be IronNode, then? Especially now that node-ts is a thing

Iron* is based on dynamic language support... JScript.Net wasn't and was abandoned well before.
