A 10x Faster TypeScript

Re:A 10x Faster TypeScript by alberth on Tuesday March 11, 2025 @12:31PM (#43334170)

Dumb question: is this a 10x speed up in the run-time of TypeScript ... or just the build tooling?

And if it's run-time, can we expect browsers to replace V8 with this Go library?

(I realize this is a noob/naive question - apologies)

This is specifically about the performance of the TypeScript toolchain (compiler, editor experience); the runtime code generated is the same. TypeScript is just JS with types.

There is no Typescript runtime, it's just a transpiler.

Just building (and supporting features like LSP)
