title: Why can't I use the import syntax to import a coffeescript file from typescript
body: <p>I have a typescript file and I am importing various typescript files as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import ThingAMajig from '../../../libs/stuffs/ThingAMajig'; // a typescript file
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I have to import my coffeescript files in this way:</p>
  
  <pre><code>const CoolThing = require('../../../libs/coolDir/CoolThing');
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to use the import syntax, I get an error <code>error TS2307: Cannot find module</code>.</p>
