Compile-On-Save with Typescript 0.9

So I know that the Typescript 0.9 Alpha is out, and one of the drawbacks is the ability to Compile-On-Save is not available yet.

My question is, is there another way to get this feature?

Web Essentials has a compile-on-save feature with Typescript 0.8.1, does that work for 0.9? Is there another extension available that can provide this feature?

I am using Visual Studio 2012 and the Typescript extension. I am working in Typescript projects (if that makes any difference).

Thanks in advance!

If all else fails you could always use WebStorm. It has a file watcher that is independent of your Typescript version: youtube.com/watch?v=RWXGMug_Rmo - basarat
Thanks :) Although that was technically an answer. - Griffork

Just install web essentials and Typescript 0.9.0-alpha. Compile on save works fine. At least it does on my machine.
