title: Native Code Typescript Compiler
body: <p>I really like Typescript as a sane alternative to Javascript, but I hate that it pulls node.js as a dependancy. To make matters worse, there only appears to be one compiler for the language in existence, and it's self-hosted. Isn't there any standalone <code>tsc</code> executable?</p>
  
  <p>To be clear, I'm not looking to <em>execute</em> anything, I just want a compiler that takes in a list of typescript source files and produces one or more javascript object files.</p>
