[Improvement request] Replace Babel with TSC and allow editing of `tsconfig` #593

I want to use a bunch of TS things like allow declare in class properties, decorators, emitting meta data etc.

This is not currently possible in settings.

I think it's time to kill Babel and never go back?

Replacing Babel with TSC would result in gaining some things and losing others. For example, do expressions, the pipeline operator, partial application, and others.

Not a big loss in my opinion - do is stage 1 proposal and pipeline only stage 2. At least TSC is well supported and the standard. Babel is losing support is kinda old hat. So many better options.
