What about using ts-node? You can run typescript files directly with that. I use it for my scripting purposes.

  It’s a great tool. It wouldn’t work in this case would it? Also, IIRC it checks types, doesn’t just strip (sometimes I prefer to just run the thing and do my type checking at the IDE/build level). Also still leaves the multiple tools problem.

    Well `tsc` is the program that "strips" types after checking them. To be clear what you're asking for is a JavaScript runtime that supports parsing types but ignoring any errors it finds? Is there any computer programing language that has this behavior?

      Python, pretty much exactly.

      Babel can do this if you wish to only strip TS extensions without typechecking.

    You can use the --transpile-only option to skip type checking. I'm going start using that myself for scripts I know are already good! Just tried it and makes a good difference to startup time.
