Exactly. And I guess the package still needs to be compiled to JS before deploying to production? To avoid shipping a full TS compiler on a production server which would be a crazy thing to do.

I don't think that would be that crazy, especially if it's in the stdlib.

It seems like a huge amount of code and potential vulns to bring in production for no good reasons.

Why do you need a full TS compiler - you can just strip type annotations ala babel.
