No hate, but everything has a cost. Denos strengths over other JS runtimes don't come from its native typescript support, but from the much simpler and streamlined tooling compared to the rest of the JS ecosystem.
JS is the smallest common denominator for that tooling. If people want typescript support they can run the compiler themselves. TS is the odd feature that's there because Ryan likes it, but why favour TS over Reason for example?
I'd rather see good WASI support and a more finegrained sandboxing model, and have the community take care of transpilers.
