As I understand it the Typescript compiler is written Typescript, which can be compiled to JavaScript, and then that compiled compiler can be run in any compliant JavaScript engine, including Rhino that Tapestry already employs as well as the Nashorn engine built into Java 8. So it should be possible. Maybe not easy, but possible.
