That is the debate and I think the main compiler devs are against it. They
want to keep the compiler JavaScript standards based.

Although, you don't see them saying it's a bad idea, just that they want to
keep the compiler "agnostic". I think they are meeting half way with types
and annotations.

I'm thinking about contributing to this project in the future, I am really
impressed with their framework and compiler.

Their codegen path is not a clean plugin approach, so it is not a trivial
task producing TypeScript as it is.
