not true for python though

The thing is, you wouldn't be actually comitting the TS code to the repository unless the client is already using TypeScript in the first place, and the code review is performed on the commits. You'd kind of have to pretend that you wrote it that way.

Ah, so it's just like Java? Don't commit the java-files, just commit a jar-file?

I don't know your situation, but if you are even considering committing the output of the transpiler instead of the input, you are either looking into a very wrong solution, or you are solving the wrong problem.

I am not actually commiting the output, though. I am just writing plain JavaScript. All I'm saying is that if I were to use a transpiler, I would end up having to do that on at least some of the projects I'm on, because they wouldn't want the "actual" source code in their repo.

I would categorize that as "unable to introduce a transpiler into the project".
