> Typescript recently announced a rewrite in Go for an expected 10x performance gain

Really?

Why use Typescript at all, in that case?

I really do not know

The Typescript compiler, currently JavaScript, is being rewritten in Go. The 10x performance gain is in build time, which is still a major speedup and will shrink the development loop.

The improvement is in `tsc`, the type checker. The improvement is reduced build times and thus faster developer or agent cycle times.
