for the uninformed, typescript is a typed superset of
javascript that compiles to plain old javascript. more info can
be reached at www.typescriptlang.org.
Nice work, but I have some gripes with it:
First, creating temporary files with predictable names is a bad
idea, because it opens the door for symlink attacks.
Unfortunately, I don't know of an alternative way to do this
safely using only the standard library; it seems, this crucial
functionality is missing. I've asked here:

The second thing is that you're using `pipeShell()`, which takes
only the entire command as a parameter. Because this command will
be interpreted by the shell, you have to make sure that all
you're arguments are correctly escaped. However, in your case you
don't actually need a shell; `pipeProcess()` is a better
solution, because it takes the argument list as an array:
auto pipes = pipeProcess(
["tsc", inputFileName, "--out", outputFileName],
Redirect.stderrToStdout | Redirect.stdout
);
