They will have no choice but to change the Typescript module system,or it will stop being compatible for Ecmascript. Right now afaik Typescript doesnt support generators either.

It's a great language but the way they handled module in Typescript was a mistake.



The only alternative they really had would be to not align with ES6/ES7 at all. The 6/7 specs are still in total flux and there are still intricate arguments/discussions on the spec list on a regular basis about the details of modules, module loaders, imports...


Is there still no support for let and const? I think that's the most embarrassing thing about TypeScript.
