You shouldn't use the term "destructor" as an alias of "destructuring expressions" - destructors are an entirely different thing[1], which is not applicable to JS.
Does typeScript support generator syntax and a Promise shim yet? What about generators? These are pretty much required to get to async/await goodness.
I ask because I am genuinely interested, and haven't looked into it for a while, only passively in the context of Angular 2. The addition of attributes (@ tagging) is specifically interesting to me as I think it's a cleaner syntax visually than mounting methods onto a function after declaration.
With BabelJS, I can use flow to get type annotations, but not sure about meta annotations (like attribute declarations in .net)

Adding to babel and traceur, Typescript is catching up with all ES6 features, so you can use destructors (discussed [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/240)) in Typescript v1.5--beta

Both async/await and generators are on the roadmap[0] for the next version.
