The @babel/parser currently does not accept any type assertion in the following format:
const obj = <MyType>{
key: value
}
When defining it like:
const obj = {
key: value
} as MyType
the parser is not complaining anymore. Is there a plan to support the alternative syntax?

I've not seen that first format and don't think it's valid TypeScript. Did you perhaps mean this?
const obj: MyType = {
key: value
}
Hello Kyle, the first format is valid TypeScript (https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/2/everyday-types.html#type-assertions) and an alternative to the as MyType syntax. Of course your example is the preferred option but I wanted to make an example for type assertion.

Oh! Today I learned. 📚 Thanks for the link!
I noticed that it says it won't work in *.tsx files. Is that the case here?
