Hi Marc, Well, it is not a part of the official typescript. But yes, the Angular compiler is now a "plugin" to the typescript compiler. Also known as a transformer. This means that a separate build-step for the angular compiler is no longer needed.
Conceptually it is like this. The angular transformer extends the typescript compiler with some extra rules, so it knows how to parse the angular specific things that are needed. This is a trick of the typescript COMPILER and not the typescript language. Doing away with a build step speeds up the whole build cycle, and there are a couple of other benefits too. All of this doesn't affect the angular dev, as it is just internal to the build system. Aside from speeding things up, there is no change in building Angular applications.
