I hope the work they did with the Babel team with help with this.

I'm really eager to see availability of some extra features via this new pathway.

But I am less excited about projects containing TypeScript plus the large number of transitive dependencies from a typical Babel set up; I've been greatly enjoying TypeScript instead of that.

I am looking forward to see some production ready versions of RY latest project Deno "A secure TypeScript runtime on V8"

100% agreed. It was incredibly liberating to move from Babel with its byzantine level of configuration and plugins to "just run tsc". So much easier to reckon with - Typescript is Typescript is Typescript.

For my part, my web projects have generally ended up with both Typescript and Babel because of old-browser-support reasons, so integrated parsing simplifies things for me.

Until this showstopper is fixed (it's been almost 9 months now), some of us can't move forward with Babel 7: https://github.com/babel/babel/issues/7074
