Hello.
TypeScript has evolved into a tremendous language, thanks to the dedication of both the community, and the Microsoft Team.
It caught the attention of our company, which has already a solution based on VS 2010 Isolated Shell, and uses Javascript as the main programming language. We would like to integrate TypeScript into our solution, and I managed even, as an experiment, to load the TypeScript VS extensions released for VS 2012 into the VS 2010 Shell, with no perceived problems (of course not expecting to work flawless... eventually we would migrate to the VS 2012 Shell if needed).
However to really be viable as a solution, some questions need to be answered, and here I am exclusively referring to the TypeScript extensiondeveloped and released by Microsoft on this link.
- Does Microsoft plans to make this extension available or compatible with VS 2012 Isolated Shell? Or, if not, is there any licensing or technical impediment related to using this as an extension "as is" in a VS 2012 Isolated Shell?
- Does Microsoft plans to release the source code for its TypeScript extension for VS? We would like to eventually customize it for our solution, but not having to start from zero.
I know those are some broad questions, and I don't know if there is a better channel for them to be asked - if there is, please advise me on that.
Thanks in advance.
