There is a new type checker called Ezno that is written in Rust and is a lot faster [1].

I have been tracking PRs like [2] that change the definitions to better be optimised by V8. But the effects are only ~30% and not the 50x that might be achievable by native.

How fast does tsc process that input though? I would be very surprised if you can get to 50x faster - that's Python territory and JavaScript isn't that slow. 10x maybe?
