Release Typescript CLI in more package repositories

[trymeouteh]

Please release the Typescript CLI (Go version once it is released) in more package repositories such as...

• Winget
• Scoop
• Homebrew
• apt
• Nix

All of these are community-supported repos. There's no difference between us doing it any someone else, and I very much assume TypeScript the npm package is already published to these.

[trymeouteh]

Typescript is only available on Homebrew and Nix (besides npm) and is still using the NodeJS version.

Once the Go version is released as a stable release, it would be nice to see TypeScript tsc binary available in other package managers.

Well, yes, but I don't see why this is a request to us right now, rather than a request to packagers sometime in the future.

A preview is now available on npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@typescript/native-preview

We'll eventually release this as "typescript" itself. And even then, there won't be anything for us to do ourselves here. People who package us will still package us.

Nixpkgs packaged it as an unstable version.
A bot updates it about every two weeks.
