It doesn't do double compilation when using TypeScript, .ts goes goes to tsc and .js to Babel. It uses Babel so you can use ES6/7/8 on the server.

This is meant as a simplified project build tool, not for every use, but you can configure it quite extensively if you need to (although it has limitations). I would estimation that ~80% of projects could use this, and is less than 5 minutes of migration or 30 seconds to get started. It's not for the 20% of projects with very custom needs for build configuration.
