Hello! I was directed here from the [Adafruit forums by John Park](https://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=189917&p=919827) so I apologize if I’m naive about anything 🙂 but excited to learn and connect with you all!
I’m trying to understand a little better the opportunities of writing code in Static TypeScript targeting, for example, a Feather M4 Express with a TFT display.
Would it be possible to write a game in pure Static TypeScript using an IDE like JetBrains WebStorm… and skip over the browser-based workflows? I’m reading as many articles/blog posts as I can and it feels like this should be possible, but perhaps not many folks doing it that way.
Thanks everyone, any advice/guidance is appreciated!

I’m new here too.
Though I can’t say I know much about “Pure Static Typescript”, (or even what that is 😉).
However I _ **AM** _ interested in developing in MakeCode for Adafruit - particularly the Adafruit CLUE - a micro:bit on steroids! (And what I think the micro:bit v2 _ **should** _ have been.) - so I am going to follow this closely.
Thanks!
