This really shows that there is a lot of potential for a native tsc alternative (like the one that was on the front page recently) to shine in terms of performance

I think it shows a lot of potential to turn TypeScript to what C++ has become.
Unlikely, types intentionally cannot affect the emitted JavaScript. You can always get raw JavaScript from TypeScript code by blindly erasing the type annotations (and transforming a few special syntaxes).
I just remembered this blog post, maybe that's the one that was on the front page recently ?
