Description
Seems to me there's no reason we shouldn't support jobs written in typescript.
Given a flag or directive at the top of the job source, or a file extension, we should be able to first compile the job into javascript before running the regular transformation pipeline.
This is mostly not a very big deal - I guess the difficulty comes from setting up the typescript rules. Usually when we write typescript we provide a tsconfig. Would we have to default it? Should we accept one? What about type definitions, how do we import those?

Research direction
Start by locating the compiler's regular transformation pipeline and job-source handling; the issue names no files or tests. Determine how a flag, directive, or extension selects TypeScript, how tsconfig and type definitions are supplied, and verify that a TypeScript job is compiled to JavaScript before the existing pipeline runs.
