This is extremely early per the disclaimer at the top, like too early to even run most toy programs.

In general I'm kind of skeptical of the approach these rewrite in rust/go projects are going. Maybe as wasm plugins for hot paths in existing tools, but it's not clear to me that the full rewrites are where we want to be long term as a community.

Unlike stc, Ezno is meant to be an extension for what TS offers today. Check this article[1] for all the cool stuff it can do.

I don’t see how this project can be considered a rewrite of anything. Yes, it compiles JavaScript and uses TypeScripts typing syntax, but it has different features and semantics compared with TypeScript. It’s like saying C++ is a rewrite of C.

I think the HN title is pretty misleading.
