Typescript support

[andrieshiemstra]

I'm thinking about adding typescript support directly in quickjs_runtime instead of a separate crate, it would be an optional feature.

Things we could do:

• native support for typescript
• optional caching of transpiled/compiled code (and optional disk backed)
• parse .map files and return correct stacktraces on errors
• serverside React support out of the box
  • status update: playing with this at https://github.com/HiRoFa/GreenCopperCmd/blob/main/scripts/ssr.ts,
  • you can run it with cargo run -- -f scripts/ssr.ts

i'd like to hear your thoughts on this

Hi thanks for response!
yes I know, consider this my proof of concept: https://github.com/HiRoFa/typescript_utils

The question is: do I include this in the quickjs_runtime codebase or leave it in it's own library...

i should move it here because typescript support is really important, annoying build tools heh
