Thanks for sharing this! Like many others, we're at a scale where we use postgres for almost everything to reduce operational overhead, and there are some ETL,log and audit tables that would love a 30% speed bump for such a small risk window.
Thanks for the clarification. For those of us who don't use TypeScript day to day, I feel that it is ambigious. Without clicking the link, you wouldn't know if it's about a compiler or a runtime. What if they announced a bun competitor?
It is for me. If someone says TypeScript is faster than X, they rarely mean the build time. I understand other people's points about TypeScript not being a runtime at all and only being a compiler, but when casually saying "TypeScript is faster than say ruby", people do not mean the compiler.
The post title is a bit misleading. It should say a 10x faster build time, or a 10x faster TypeScript compiler. tsc (compiler) is 10x faster, but not the final TS program runtime. Still an amazing feat! But doom will not run faster
"To meet those goals, we’ve begun work on a native port of the TypeScript compiler and tools. The native implementation will drastically improve editor startup, reduce most build times by 10x, and substantially reduce memory usage."
