Add type definitions

Would love to use this in my TS project.

I do not support TypeScript, it is not open-source friendly for the JavaScript community nor GitHub.

@niftylettuce I'd love to hear your reasons why. Not criticizing or disagreeing, just want to hear your reasons for academic curiosity

[niftylettuce]

IMO TypeScript is horrible and the community doesn't need yet another CoffeeScript, the main reason being the latter.

[sweepies]

Sorry, no.

TypeScript is a completely separate project that brings only objective benefits over JavaScript, and is growing rapidly. Pure JavaScript development has already been deprecated by a lot of people.

You can choose to not maintain your project out of laziness, but that excuse is simply not valid. Is there an actual reason you think it's not good for open source?

@sweepyoface this isn't my project so I can't speak for @niftylettuce , but your tone is not appropriate for a constructive discussion. This is a JavaScript project, the maintainers have zero obligation to support typescript. And for every typescript purist, theres plenty of people that think TS is bloated and not worth the effort.

Here's a thought: would you or your company consider paying for TS bindings?
