There is no TypeParameter type in the Babylon TypeScript AST hierarchy.
Flow does have a TypeParameter type, but it should not be confused with
the TypeScript TSTypeParameter, since Flow !== TypeScript, and the types
have totally different fields. Instead, the .typeParameter.type of a
Babylon-parsed TSInferType node should be TSTypeParameter.
It would probably be fine to leave the declared type of the TSInferType
.typeParameter field as TSType instead of TSTypeParameter, but the more
specific TSTypeParameter type should be safe/correct, since the TypeScript
parseInferType function always uses SyntaxKind.TypeParameter:
66d6e5e6e0/src/compiler/parser.ts (L3006)
I noticed this typo because it has been causing ast-types test failures
lately, e.g. https://travis-ci.org/benjamn/ast-types/jobs/369634972

Intro
Babel is a tool that helps you write code in the latest version of JavaScript. When your supported environments don't support certain features natively, Babel will help you compile those features down to a supported version.
In
// ES2015 arrow function
[1, 2, 3].map((n) => n + 1);
Out
[1, 2, 3].map(function(n) {
return n + 1;
});
