It will the day v8 integrate native support for typescript.
But will native support become a reality ?
I don't think so. Typescript is not standard driven, but community driven. There is no spec. This means that typescript behaviour is not well defined.
Don't get me wrong. I don't think typescript should become a spec. This would make typescript difficult to evolve at the pace it needs.
Look at c++, one of the biggest langage spec out there. It's a mess. Typescript as the luxury to break backward compatibility.
Builds break every now and then... Fixes are minor. But once in the browser, backward compatibility should be enforced... Making it another mess.
So i guess it will not happen.
It'll never happen.
