tsc

And now you're back to pure JavaScript.

Sure, but with lots of generated code that's going to be hard to be human readable and changeable. It's definitely more work to add a feature to the code generated by the compiler, than to add a feature if the code was initially written in JavaScript.

By default, doesn't tsc just output the source TS files with type info stripped? Worst case you run a formatter on that output and you're done.

There's some nonstandard TS features like the iterator shim and decorators and such, but you don't get those by default from what I remember.
