<h3>GNU gettext</h3>
<p>gnulib java blob; 3 Java class files in <code>gettext-tools/examples</code>; <code>gettext-tools/m4/csharpexec-test.exe</code> which doesn't have source code (C# is effectively proprietary anyway). Did <a href="https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/54b36e80f7c3910ae1557c2faafda3d6d62daf49">sys-devel/gettext: deblob</a> to fix it.</p>
+ <h3>TypeScript</h3>
+ <p>Compiler itself is written in TypeScript, no bootstrap path possible as the <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/commit/214df64e287804577afa1fea0184c18c40f7d1ca">commit introducing the compiler</a> is TypeScript code. Want TypeScript compiler? Get a blob from <code>npmjs.org</code>, like the <a href="https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/commit/99ec3a96880649eeaa08c3df30e3ae802048f4fe">Initial commit</a> tells you.</p>
