I hope they start making TypeScript a first class citizen in Ember, just as they have done with Glimmer, it really makes development so much easier, hopefully with .get() and .set() going away it will make it easier for the typescript compiler to figure out what is mutating what.

There was a lightning talk on TypeScript at EmberConf that also gave a status update on how TS and Ember work together: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCHFjGSCqP4&feature=youtu.be&t=6h34m26s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCHFjGSCqP4&feature=youtu.be... It looks like full support could be landing soon. I know TS 2.2 added flexible enough class modeling to handle Ember's object system: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2017/02/22/announcing-typescript-2-2/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2017/02/22/annou... Of course we're attacking that from the other side as well, and experimenting with native ES classes in Glimmer.

  <3 mixonic, thanks for the reply, I was scouring the repo / blog for any word on typescript support, this looks promising.
