[x3d-public] typescript?

[John Carlson]

I think it might be more important to get X3D co-existing with React,
Next.js, Angular (TypeScript), Vue.js, Svelte, SvelteKit, Solid, Meteor
etc.  I’m guessing X3DOM or DOM/JSON is the best way to do this.  Holger
and Michalis can chime in on possibilities.  Tutorials or how-to’s would be
good.  I’ve used Meteor 1 and X3DOM together.  THREE and React appear to be
a good combo.  Perhaps we can make JSON work, without relying on DOM.
Currently, AFAIK, we convert JSON to DOM.  A full JSON+Proxy implementation
of X3D might work.  I don’t know how to build an X3D browser, which is why
I’ve relied on others.

I think currently people are moving away from TypeScript to JSDoc, there’s
no extra transpiling step for browsers, and probably comparable type safety
in IDEs.

I don’t know if TypeScript will get serious consideration for web
browsers.  AFAIK, type safety in the language means extra checks, which
AFAIK, slows down browsers, but I could be wrong.  Adding typesafety
probably enhances security.

I think it’s more likely for WASM to get DOM, as they are working on a
shared heap between JS and WASM.
