Timothy claimed that building typescript with esbuild has been done (by singpolyma) in guixrus and it indeed seems it is. https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2024-02/msg00123.html https://git.sr.ht/~whereiseveryone/guixrus/tree/master/item/guixrus/packages/javascript/typescript.scm What I've done currently is to bootstrap tape (but not all packages using tape as a native-input in the process). The idea is to build tap and typescript from there. -- Best regards, Nicolas Graves
