The title says "JavaScript", but the file extension says ".ts". It doesn't look very Javascript to me. Can anyone clarify?
Also nice to see a Douglas Crockford book (who is not a fan of TS BTW) ...
Anyways I star'd this repo ... very impressive +1

What you type is usually considered what it's implemented in, not what it's compiled/transpiled to. The later is the target language, which there may be many.
This differentiation is required if you want to modify/read the code. You would almost certainly modify/read it in the language it was implemented in, and make it clear which language this is when sharing.
Maybe "...implemented in TS, targeting JS" or at least something more obvious like "...implemented in JS using TS".

*not exactly, there’s a couple of features that map differently. But there's a 1:1 TS to JS conversion.

.ts comes from TypeScript, which is just JavaScript but with compile-time-checked types (and some other goodies) added on top. TS is really popular now, I don't think any sane dev would start a new project today in plain JS instead of TS.

It's TypeScript! It is "a strict syntactical superset of JavaScript, and adds optional static typing to the language." [1], and compiles to standard JavaScript. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TypeScript
Earlier quoted context omitted.

A more correct word for converting code from one programming language into another is "transpile".

It's always "from one language to another", sometimes the destination is machine language. The output is generally not meant to be meant to be human-readable in any case. "Transpile" is an ugly and unnecessary word, please don't push it as "more correct".
