What your build/deployment steps without the Typescript syntax? Do you bundle or minify at all, or do you release your source files directly? Or is this mostly for NodeJS/server side stuff?

I ask because for most of my projects there's at least some bundling going on, and in that case the added complexity of Typescript compilation is pretty minimal - with tools like Vite there is no added complexity, because JS and TS files are going down exactly the same pipeline, parsed by the same parser, etc. And I could get rid of the bundler, which would make some things simpler, but makes imports and deployment more complicated. For the scale of projects that I'm working on, bundling feels like necessary complexity.

I guess I'm trying to figure out if this is a useful form of minimalism for the sorts of projects I work on, or if this is the sort of thing that works for some projects but not others.
