No please no. Can we just leave javascript and all of it's flavors behind already. All of this innovation and people want to program in _transpiled_ programming language? It's like turles all the way down but it's just hacks all the way down in the js world and it'll start catching up with us if it hasn't already.

It’s not transpiled. Only some implementations of it are. Just use Bun or Deno with TypeScript. There is literally zero runtime impact. It’s just natively TypeScript.

i believe deno compiles typescript on the fly, in a V8 isolate; it is not interpreted natively in the same way javascript is (but, yes, you don't have to bundle it or transpile it first)
