[x3d-public] typescript?

[John Carlson]

>From Google AI:

“Browsers cannot directly execute TypeScript code. TypeScript is a superset
of JavaScript and requires compilation into JavaScript before it can be run
in a browser environment. The TypeScript compiler transforms .ts files into
.js files, which are then understood and executed by web
browsers. Therefore, to run TypeScript in a browser, you need to:

   - *Write TypeScript Code:*
   Create your application logic using TypeScript syntax, taking advantage
   of features like static typing and interfaces.
   -
      - *Compile to JavaScript:*
      Use the TypeScript compiler (tsc) to transpile your .ts files
into .js files. This
      process converts the TypeScript code into standard JavaScript
that browsers
      can interpret.
      - *Include in HTML:*
      Reference the generated .js files in your HTML using <script> tags. This
      makes the compiled JavaScript code available to the browser.
      - *Run in Browser:*
      Open the HTML file in a web browser. The browser will execute the
      included JavaScript code, effectively running your TypeScript
application.

While browsers don't run TypeScript natively, the compilation process
allows developers to write code in TypeScript and still have it function
correctly in any browser that supports JavaScript.”

Deno runs TypeScript, so conceivably, if Deno’s TypeScript could be ported
to Chrome (they both use the V8 JavaScript engine), conceivably, we could
get TypeScript in the browser.

Starting in Node.js 23, according to Google AI, Node.js runs TypeScript.
Node was also based on V8.

So yeah, we’re all waiting for TypeScript in the browser.  But others
talking about JS0, reducing complexity of the JavaScript in the browser.

I have not experienced being able to use X3D tags in React.  Maybe I need
to import an X3D engine or use x3dom for lowercase tags?
