Adopting Typescript for XWiki development

+1. I guess this also means we’ll have to:

  • start migrating “JavaScript” modules to use Node for building the WebJars
  • use Node for new WebJar modules

in order to take advantage of using TypeScript. This means reaching a conclusion for Standardizing our use of node in maven projects , because it seems there’s no other (easy) way to use TypeScript without Node. So if we agree to use TypeScript then we have to agree to use Node for JavaScript modules.
