blitz install errors if you use the --js arg on blitz new

[olliedean]

What is the problem?

As the title says, if you use the --js argument when initializing a new project, blitz install fails since it can't compile the recipes with Typescript.

Paste all your error logs here:

TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript:
.blitz/recipe-install/index.ts:2:8 - error TS1259: Module 
'"/home/ollie/Desktop/dev/test/.blitz/recipe-install/node_modules/@types/jscodeshift/index"' can only
be default-imported using the 'esModuleInterop' flag

This module is declared with using 'export =', and can only be used with a default import when using

Any update here?

We've been quite busy with Blitz 2.0, but we're gonna make sure that recipes are working with the new toolkit with both TS and JS. We need a bit more time though.
