Angular 2.0 - ES6 without typescript

So on Angular 2.0 get started pages, it says that we can use Typescript for importing modules, but isn't that core part of ES6?

So, once ES6 will be fully supported (or at least module loading) ins browsers, does it mean we won't have to use Typescript in our Angular 2.0 applications?

Basically using TypeScript in your Angular 2.0 or Angular 1.x helps you in development, with TypeDef your editor provides intellisense, and all almost all the features by ES6 is in TypeScript.

Yes. If the module loader is natively supported you don't need typescript for module loading transpilation.

Fact: You don't have to use typescript even today.. you can write the JavaScript that typescript generates by hand or even use something else like babel.
