It's a JS framework that targets server-side (node.js), and is written in a language that is not natively supported - TypeScript, thus requiring transpilation right out the box to use. Does that seem odd to anyone else?

On the update: This does seem kinda neat, and certainly useful in some situations.

You're not required to use TypeScript. As janpot mentioned, the library is transpiled prior to being published on npm, so you can use it with regular JavaScript. This is true of most TypeScript libraries.

Not to me, if it's distributed on npm in its transpiled form it doesn't matter.
