Announcing TypeScript 1.6 Beta: React/JSX, better error checking, and more

Happy to see such uptake in TS, and it's great that big frameworks such as Dojo 2.0 and Angular 2.0 are adopting it, but I can't help but feel a bit weird and slightly disappointed that JSX found its way in.

Anyways, great work by the TypeScript team as always! Looking forward to putting 1.6 to work.

It's not as if it's found it's way in to .ts files, only to .tsx files.

As someone who's organisation has spent a lot of time making our front end in ReactJS this is going to be very useful for us, and the 'corruption' that is the cast operator becoming 'as' will be manageable as it's only in .tsx files.
