Hi Marcus, thanks for the reply in LinkedIn. following that, here is a brief description of what I'm trying to do:
I work for Luminis Technologies. We build open source components for building modular web applications using OSGi (The Amdatu <http://amdatu.org/> Project). We would like to add some components that automatically compile frontend resources written in multiple languages (typescript, coffeescript, lescss, sass etc.). As the first stage we would like to get typescript working, as it's common in many projects that use our stack. Since we want to do it automatically on each change, speed is critical. That's why I was very glad to learn about your latest nashorn performance enhancements. To get started I've tried compiling the microsoft TypeScript distribution (using Jake) and running it using jjs as I've seen in some examples online (j*js tsc.js --optimistic-types=true -- hello.ts* for example) and got the following error: tsc.js:20361 TypeError: Cannot read property "args" from undefined got the same thing when trying in Java code. If it is indeed already possible to compile TS using nashorn, I'd really appreciate any help you can provide on how to do so. Many thanks, Dan
