I’m unfamiliar with TS. Could someone explain this part?

> Invoke the compiler

    $ tsc *.ts --lib esnext --outFile /dev/stdout 
    var ᚾ = Symbol();
    var ᛊ = Symbol();
    var ᛚ = Symbol();
    var ᛞ = Symbol();

Why is there so little output? Is that because the compiler removed the unneeded types? And the author is implying that the task was boilerplate and pointless?

Everything is only in type system providing developer type-hints. When compiled, it all boiled down to plain js.
