could you imagine that some JS proposal adds the ability to ignore TS-like type annotations to the engines, so we don't even have to strip them?

this may help development heavily, also making the browser and deno nearly identical environments.

Yes, this would be great, and it will probably happen eventually. This is something we want to work on soon - expect something in the coming weeks.

Since TS/Deno has native support for JSX syntax, do you think Browsers will eventually support it as well?

No, I don't think so. JSX is too proprietary and not specified well enough. It is also rather ambiguous.

If you want a "no compile" JSX:

```jsx

const x = <div color="red">hello</div>;

// is the same as

const x = h("div", { color: "red" }, "hello");

```

This is more true as a mental model/to the type system, but slightly more complicated when compiled.

First, there’s the “new JSX transform”, which involves auto-imports, has a different function signature, and defines fallback behavior for certain circumstances.

Second, JSX is only specified as a syntax extension. Some implementations—like SolidJS and its underlying dom-expressions compiler—don’t compile to hyperscript at all.
