Im still hoping that Typescript support comes soon!

Thanks for the feedback. We implemented the transform to strip TypeScript annotations (using esbuild)…

https://github.com/observablehq/framework/pull/129

but this approach stalled because it doesn’t implement validation of TypeScript: the TypeScript annotations are simply ignored. I felt this defeats the point of using TypeScript. We probably need to use tsc instead of esbuild to get type checking. Hints welcome!

React! This has been on my Christmas wish list since Observable was first published.

Thanks mbostock!
