TypeScript is not "pure" JavaScript. I understand Microsoft has embraced the JavaScript open source ecosystem and extended it, and recently bought the place where most JavaScript open source developers collaborate. But I would not go as far as to say Microsoft's TypeScript is the new JavaScript just yet.

The appeal of "Pure JavaScript" that they're alluding to is the that this library can be used in any compliant JS environment. The value proposition is no platform dependencies.

The description says "Pure Javascript manually written". But it's not. It's actually TypeScript, which if you set up the right environment and install Microsoft tools - it can be compiled to JavaScript. This makes new developers believe that JavaScript is a Microsoft product and that you need Microsoft tools to develop it.

* the distributed bundle is always javascript, * it is manual re-write from BLAS reference. * Typescript is a superset of Javascript,. * the repo is selfcontained, "npm install" will install webpack and all tools you need to build the bundle.

Context is important, also the context is mentioned explicitly! All other BLAS javascript implementations are just fortran recompiles with "emscripten" to webassembly.

This is a (non emscripted) Javascript re-write (Typescript is a superset of Javascript)

Yes it is javascript the bundle is an UMD web/node file you can use in your browser!
