Svelte supports TypeScript
Users can start a new Svelte TypeScript project using the normal template and by running node ‘scripts/setupTypeScript.js.’

“We think it’ll give you a much nicer development experience — one that also scales beautifully to larger Svelte code bases — regardless of whether you use TypeScript or JavaScript,” Svelte wrote in a blog post.

Svelte said it has been the most requested feature for a while.
