I've been looking at how to update various packages so we can increase the stability of the build process and support TS but the dependency which is causing troubles with this is jwl-dev-utils. This seems to be a fork of react-dev-utils which is maintained by @jlongster.

In order to update the codebase to use TS we need a TS compatible linter (#110), swapping out babel for tslint's parser as otherwise the linter will error on any .ts files.

The issue with this however is we need to update eslint as we're using a version released in 2018 whereas v1.0.0 of typescript-eslint was released in 2019. Updating eslint causes incompatibilities with eslint-loader, and in turn updating that causes incompatibilities with jwl-dev-utils.

jwl-dev-utils has had a number of patches applied relative to react-dev-utils (but these patches don't seem to have been pushed to github). This means that it's hard to know exactly what code is running and how it's different from react-dev-utils. Not knowing how the code differs from react-dev-utils makes it difficult to easily rollback to the official version of react-dev-utils so we can start migrating forwards to more recent versions (builds start failing when replacing it with the most similar version of react-dev-utils).

@jlongster could you publish what these changes are and potentially help with updating these dependencies as this seems to be a blocker for many priorities and there's info about this which only you can provide?
