> runtime for TypeScript written in Go

This makes it sound like the TypeScript runtime (interpreter or JIT) is written in Go, but the project uses the quickjs JavaScript runtime, which is written in C:

Project appears to be semi-dead, and was early stages when it was alive.

Incidentally, Elsa is already the name of a C++ parser: https://scottmcpeak.com/elkhound/sources/elsa/

Probably the standard Go compiler doesn't provide many optimization? I just checked that the one used by The Computer Language Benchmark Game, and not gccgo.

Perhaps..

do you have source to back it up? go seems fast enough to me.
