Deno integrating TypeScript at all was a big mistake, but that doesn't mean that TypeScript at build time isn't a god idea, or that transpilation can be extremely fast with tools like esbuild.

That's not the point I'm making. I use esbuild often for TS development tooling.

But if you're building developer tools or libraries and want the output to be optimized for the end-user, introducing a middleman like tsc or esbuild can have tradeoffs. This is likely what the ESLint team considered.
