My understanding is that Typescript needs to be compiled to javascript. 
You can't serve typescript directly to a browser.

So as long as you are doing this in a separate file, vibe.d can serve up 
the javascript files just fine.

I am working on a web app using a vibe.d but I prefer typescript 
to javascript. So I want to use typescript. My question is that 
can I use typescript instead of javascript since it must be 
compiled to javascript? Does the vibe.d framework compile 
typescript to javascript?

You can use it, but you have to compile it yourself. Vibe.d does nothing 
with the javascript except serve it to the browser. It has no 
restrictions on what files can be sent, but does not convert anything 
for you.

No. This means that if you wanted to use, for instance, a diet template 
to generate typescript, this would not work.

My recommendation in that case is to generate javascript data using diet 
templates, and use it from a Typescript file that is pre-compiled before 
being served via vibe.d.

There's a Diet filter for TypeScript here [1], but it hasn't been 
updated since 2015.

Thanks, it will be really nice to enable the use of typescript by 
default since it is type-safe. I will appreciate this feature of 
it can be added. I personally don't like dynamic languages due to 
lack of declaring a type for every variable
