Update about top-level await: I just talked to Andrew from the TypeScript team, and it looks like it’s not yet what we think it is.
So what this PR just did, is making sure, that top level await is “not transformed” anymore. That means, if you have top-level await in your TS code, it will end up in the generated JS code.
In order to use it today, you need to provide the v8 flag
--harmony-top-level-await. Another option he mentioned, is that you might get it running with--module=systemjs, which we can investigate, but it doesn’t seem like an established thing yet, that we should recommend as the default.So it seems like Node is just not ready yet.
