		andai on Dec 1, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Advent of Code 2024 My approach here would be to make an index.html file with a script tag and drag it onto whatever browser is available. Then again I have made peace with JavaScript! (I think you could even use typescript with this method with the on the fly babel transpiler (you just include a script tag) but I haven't tried that.)

You'll lose the benefit of the TypeScript compiler picking up mismatched types if you only use a transpiler.

Interesting, the in-browser one doesn't do type checking? They're actually adding that to JS itself as far as I can tell -- the ability to strip TS types and run it as-is.
