Has anyone found a way to get TypeScript to run directly in the browser without a build step since Microsoft removed the js files that did this?

Basically, Is this following pattern still possible?

If not, what typed language do people here use for buildless front-end dev? I REALLY want to move away from weak-dynamically-typed PLs.

I’m guessing what’s documented here:

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/jsdoc-supported...

I’ve never written TypeScript myself so just a guess.

There’s also this for node.js:
