Set up an actual frontend toolchain #3

Closed easoncxz closed 4 years ago

easoncxz commented 4 years ago

From #2, it is apparent that I am incapable of doing the most basic of things without a type-checker. As such, this ticket is about getting some kind of build toolchain up and running.

Tasks:

Set up TypeScript ~or Hegel~ type-checker.
Use npm for managing dependencies, and use some kind of bundler, maybe Rollup.

Motivation:

LSP-based tooling auto-complete: my setup just isn't smart enough to handle Jspm imports.
JSX syntax: I need some way to make my browser understand when I write JSX.

I tried out Hegel; it is simply too early-stage, and there are lots and lots of low-hanging bugs. It's not sensible to try to get Hegel working for writing this app; we'll have to use TypeScript for now.
