Re: Language Plugin Development - HackLang & possiblyTypeScript

Just in case you haven't seen it:
https://github.com/Everlaw/nbts/issues/1#issuecomment-147137830

I'm happy to contribute however I can. I have invested a significant amount
of time now into learning about the NB Platform and TypeScript, so I
believe I can be a good help in one way or another. Just let me know how
and I'm happy to do as instructed. You can submit issues on GitHub. I will
have a look there every now and then.

I have submitted some issues.
