Sounds like they're automatically generating Go code from ts in some amount [0]. I wonder if they will open the transpilation effort, in this way you'd create a path for other TypeScript projects to generate fast native binaries

The automatic generation was mainly a step to help with manual porting, since it requires so much vetting and updating for differences in data layout; effectively all of the checker code Anders ported himself!

It seems that they port the code manually, probably with the help of LLMs.
