New feature: Typescript compiler #155

Closed znakeeye closed 1 year ago

znakeeye commented 3 years ago

Derived a Typescript compiler from the existing Javascript compiler.

Typescript compiler is happy + code is well-formatted.
Verified for a few languages.

I believe snowball will greatly benefit from this. Please consider a merge after scrutinizing all my tweaks. Particularly the build scripts... I did my best trying to figure out all parameters and stuff 😄

This PR still needs work, and #183 suggests a different approach:

My feeling is that there's not much point having a separate TS build, as TS-compatible types can be supplied by JSDoc without any loss of JS compatibility.

Thoughts? Should we close this PR in favour of taking that approach instead?

Taking that "thumbs up" as a yes, and closing.
