Civet: a new programming language that transpiles to TypeScript. Some have called it the ghost of CoffeeScript. I think it should do a lot better on HN now that it has a better website with tons of examples. https://civet.dev

That's how I do it in Civet (the CoffeeScript of TypeScript). It's a very small amount of complexity to add to the parser for a ton of convenience when using the language. https://github.com/DanielXMoore/Civet
