Oh, oh! That also means that that "Doom in Typescript types" will run faster as well!
Well... Assuming that it's not using bits of typescript that will be deprecated in TS 6 and removed in TS 7 (the native go implementation)
For the sake of clarity, we’ll refer to them simply as TypeScript 6 (JS) and TypeScript 7 (native)...
We're currently at TS 5.7, so we're still off for quite a bit until TS7 hits?
YUP, probably a year or two
Nice! According to the video it's about 3½x faster by using Go and the rest from multi threading.
I don't think I could ever go back to writing Go code after Rust, in spite of the way faster compile time, GC, not having to deal with the borrow checker, easier cross-compilation, bigger standard library, etc.
Writing the code is just too tedious.
