From my understanding, Parcel just strips typescript annotations and does not actually do any type checking, which kinda defeats the purpose of typescript. v2.parceljs.org/languages/typescript
Hey I just want to follow up. I have been using Parcel for a TypeScript application for a few weeks now and I found your article while trying to figure it out. Like I mentioned before, Parcel does not actually compile the .ts files. It just strips the annotations and bundles the regular JavaScript. But I have found that most of the functionality of TypeScript happens in the IDE. I use Sublime Text and there is an excellent TypeScript linter for it, so all the type-checking is done there while I code and that works great. It turns out I never actually use the tsc compiler anyway.

I highly recommend give a try to VSCode but Sublime works fine.
