    Honestly, slow TypeScript build times are more of a problem for me right now than slow Rust build times.

        when building Rust code, the reward for your patience is provably-correct, highly-optimized machine code. when building TypeScript code, the reward for your patience is… "JavaScript? Seriously?"

        The Typescript transpiler ought to be rewritten in Rust, for speed.

        Then of course, making it easily runnable from a node.js project has clear advantages. Would need a few precompiled binaries shipped as an npm package if this were to happen. 😃

        Yah I was surprised by the Pathfinder demo Typescript taking longer to compile than the Rust.

        Huge build time speed difference with strict generic checks for me... https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/issues/18646 … - 2.4 and 2.5.{1,2} were way worse though. It's a real issue :-(
