I was thinking about how we could increase adoption of FlexJS and I had a 
thought:

How crazy would it be to make Falcon understand TypeScript?

TypeScript is currently very popular for many of the reasons that we like 
ActionScript. The difference is that ActionScript is not the current fad. There 
are also many js libraries written in TypeScript.

If FalconJX would be able to compile .as files alongside .ts files, TypeScript 
code could become first-class citizens in the FlexJS ecosystem. That would 
accomplish two things:

1. TypeScript code could be used as-is in a project.
2. It would make FlexJS an option for many TypeScript developers and give 
FlexJS a shot at vastly increased adoption.

Thoughts?
