Dev here, happy to answer any questions. GitHub link: https://github.com/Microsoft/nodejstools

This is awesome! Congratz on the release! I just watched the video on the home page and I'm really impressed. I'll take a serious look in it! Thanks!

I wish more docs/books/tutorials were available for Node.js with TypeScript.

Hey, TypeScript dev here, what can we do to make your life easier? Y'know, apart from a million bucks.

What kinds of gaps of knowledge do you feel there are in using the two together?

I have an impression that TypeScript (and docs) are somehow separated in its own. E.g. for Windows Store app development there are docs for C#, VB and JS. Also WinJS. So as a someone learning Node.js, it would be great to start directly with TypeScript, be it common patterns, OO, static typing or just plain syntax. Same goes for e.g. Windows app development.

First, thanks so much for this, I love being in Visual Studio!

A few things I've noticed: - when typing '.then' (for promises) intellisense seems to think I want '.attach' and that means I need to hit Esc and type it out manually. What's up with that?

- Performance seems to degrade over time, and the IDE just gets sluggish.

- After I made intellisense -not- use the disk and instead go in-mem (.ntvs_analysis.dat was getting huge!) I have almost no intellisense for any custom modules I loaded. (Things like lodash still seem to work)

Many, many thanks on making Visual Studio once again my place to live in all day!
