I have a very different take on this. Node should not follow. Being leader has very different priorities and responsibilities. Let the chasers try to innovate. I'm not against them, I want them more. But, mind they use tricks to get traction, and this typescript affair is an example (It's not just stripping types, you have to bake the specific business-logic inside your runtime). I like the feature to run ts directly. But, this is just another silly frontend mindset echo-chamber: "No build step". Almost every language has a build/packaging step. And often more the one. Every tooling, every runtime, ... the list is very very log. (i'm talking about proper apps not one-liners). It's just a tooling/workflow issue and a total lack of aptitude to agree on one solution instead of creating dozens, because I'm smart than you or have I business build upon it. So, "Like to run ts", yes! But let the wisdom of time give a proper say before giving in.
