Typescript treats import and export as first class citizens. When using it in my scripts it pulls in not only the module but also typings for that module as well.<p>Of course; Typescript compiles in such a way that Node understands what was intended, it would be nice to compile to ES6 directly. Typescript is ES6 with types. A small change, essentially ignoring types, would require so little processing that it could probably be done live as if it were reading pure ES6.<p>I think that&#x27;s within the realm of possibility but would require Node to understand ES6 in its entirety.
