refactor: migrate to typescript

[thesayyn]

closes #94 #110. thanks @koblas @chris-kruining

hey fellas. this PR introduces the typescript pipeline. I have figured out most of the things. though I will need your help converting the javascript sources to typescript ones.

• need to get tests working.
• need to interop with examples to assert that we don't break anything
• need to create an automatic release pipeline in our CI

Can I get access so I can push to this PR?

[thesayyn]

I would like to but only collaborators can get write access. :( but I can cherry-pick your changes if you could open a PR that bases this one.

basically;

git checkout typescript
# make your changes 
git commit -m "tb cherry picked"
git push myorigin typescript

[chris-kruining]

see #114

i got it. everything is working now.

[chris-kruining]

I spotted I missed the tsconfig.json file but that didn't do much in it's config

[thesayyn]

last commit should do the trick.

this is almost ready. except one pesky windows line break issue. I hate windows so much. just pain.

[koblas]

You can do it, we're all cheering from the stands!
