I write in vanilla TypeScript. I do not have any build step in my application. Since Node now supports native type stripping I don't have a compile step either. I just write my code and then point node at the main file, and this even includes front-end code for the browser.

Can you explain more about how the front end aspect works? I'm not clear how the front end code could by TypeScript without a build step, unless I'm misreading.

Node strips types on all imported code regardless of where that code executes.

Node doesn't run in the browser.

Presumably Node is the server (back end), and when the browser requests a TS file, Node is stripping the types before serving it to the browser.

		That presumption is wrong, and doesn't quite make sense if you think about it.
