Making bracket pair colorization faster

> the checker.ts file of the TypeScript project, which has more than 42k lines of code

What the actual f** ?

42k lines of code and they mention it casually without even thinking about explaining the reason behind this monstrosity?

And yes, I fully expect the comments below to contain stuff like "This is nothing, back in the day we had a 1M loc Java class."

The file is linked from the article, so you can look at it and judge for yourself.

Why on earth is it their job to explain the reason behind a large file in a completely different piece of software?

They just picked a big real file and used it for benchmarking. Apparently it's not even from the same project, why would they comment on it?
