Wait, you mean I can start up a brand new Windows machine and type "npm install tsc -g" and stuff magically happens?

  "On top of vanilla js" meaning node. I understand what you're saying, but it's completely contextual. The title of this article is "All javascript libraries...". Maybe it's just that I'm not a front-end-only developer. I have no clue about the development process for exclusively front end libraries, but I don't see many people develop them without node/npm. Hell, JQuery has a package.json, and: "In order to build jQuery, you need to have the latest Node.js/npm and git 1.7 or later" https://github.com/jquery/jquery https://github.com/jquery/jquery

  Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio Code both support npm. I don't even think you have to type "install", I think it's just a matter of listing "tsc" in your package.json file. (I haven't tried it myself yet, but I just got back from VS Live in Vegas where the ease of package management in VS 2015 was brought up in several sessions.)
