Basically all web languages compile/transpile* to JS since that's the only thing with wide support, at least until WASM is 100% equivalent. What's your definition of transpiling and what are you looking for? * I personally find the difference meaningless, lots of languages use intermediate compilation targets like C or JS or LLVM IR or assembly so transpiling and compiling mean the same thing to me

On the server-side, Deno is soon 1.0 and has native TypeScript support - no more transpiling https://blog.logrocket.com/what-is-deno/ https://blog.logrocket.com/what-is-deno/

  Deno still uses a TS to JS compiler internally, but it's transparent to the user. Just adding as it might interest someone :)

  I was wondering how soon and found the associated PR which was created today https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/5273 https://github.com/denoland/deno/pull/5273

  Deno transpiles the code for you. It is not a TypeScript compiler, but interprets/JIT compiles the generated javascript.
