Could you please update custom-elements-manifest/analyzer to TypeScript 5.5?
TypeScript 5.5 brings a lot exciting improvements, and it would be nice to be able to use it with custom-elements-manifest/analyzer

Yeah I'd be happy to take a PR to update it 🙂

Opened a PR - #268

Out of curiosity, I have a question for you:
Given that the project relies so closely on the TypeScript compiler, why is the project itself not written in TypeScript?

That would make maintenance effort like updating dependency version easier since TypeScript will catch places in code that need to be updated in response to dependency update.

The lack of typing definitions for this project is decremental for the community.
Comments like this are common

Larger projects like https://github.com/break-stuff/cem-tools/ shipped their own typings for CEM, but those typings sometimes are not matching reality, causing issues
