- good, thw result will be Websites ten times more bloated.by aniceperson
- How?by 0xCAP
- Sadly, the API isn’t ready yet so tooling has to wait until 7.1.by ChicagoDave
- Stuff like this is worth the wait.by nish__
- I'm looking forward to this. But it does amaze me how Microsoft with all it's power takes years to complete the port to a different language and bun does it in 7 days. Crazy timesby nhatcher
- Probably because TypeScript is too important to leave it purely to AI. The gall to question Anders Hejlsberg :Dby jakubmazanec
- That made me wonder, since bun natively supports typescript, is it already using some kind of rust implementation of typescript?by atonse
- Been using tsgo for months and unfortunately had many random crashes, the speedup made it worth it though. Looking forward to try the release candidate.by domysee
- > TypeScript 7.0 is often about 10 times faster than TypeScript 6.0
amazing
by _august - I need to know whether the speedup holds for truly gigantic projects such as Doom in Typescript types.by orra
- This sounds really great. As a Go developer I'm also really looking forward to their Go port of the filesystem watcher package — I agree that the existing packages don't fully allow to do a reliable recursive directory watch and it would be great to have something where you don't rely on C dependencies just for this thing.by nasretdinov

You plan to contribute to the TypeScript project?
by __natty__ - They've had a preview version of this available as ts-go for a while now, and I've been really happy using it on my projects. I just installed it and changed "tsc" to "tsgo" in a couple places and it just worked. I don't remember exact numbers, but I think an approximately 10x speed up is a reasonable estimate for my build times. They went from noticable-but-not-bad to imperceptibly-fast.by simonbw
- I'm looking not only for better build times, but for lower memory usage - running few LSPs on a large TypeScript codebases currently takes a lot of RAM.by jakubmazanec
