Hi, I do not remember the exact use case for the gist anymore as its been a while, but I assume it was meant as a showcase/workaround to simply load and utilize Highcharts in a TypeScript project.
There has been a lot of development in Highcharts regarding TypeScript support since this gist was created, so you should look to Highcharts Type Declarations and Load Highcharts as a transpiled ES6/UMD module for more up to date information 🙂
