Don't be act like an idiot simply to make a point. You simply come across as some elitist programmer who can't be bothered to learn frontend tooling. All of those technologies are simply Javascript running serverside (or developer clientside during the development). I sent you a gulp example because gulp it's very easy to use and you can quickly build customized build processes with it. "gulp-typescript-babel" is simply a wrapper for "gulp-babel" and "gulp-typescript" which are both simply Javascript libraries. Read their source, there's nothing complicated going on in there. "gulp-typescript" simply wraps around "Microsoft/TypeScript" and make it easy to pipe into gulp. "gulp-babel" simply wraps around babeljs and make it easy to pipe into gulp. "babel" is simply a lib that polyfills and rewrite your next generation JavaScript into code that older browsers can understand. You originally said "then you spend a month figuring out amd vs esnext vs systemjs and Babel vs browserify vs requireJS vs webpack vs god knows what else.". I sent you this snippet to show how simply it is to build TypeScript. Oh look, I explained to you a "month worth of research" in a simple HN comment... ! You could have googled it and read a blogpost about it instead. Sorry for being harsh but if you need a month to figure out how to run Javascript on your computer you need to consider a new career.
