if typescript code execution got that much faster it might be a reason for someone to look into the language even if they knew nothing about it.

There are plenty of other reasons to consider TypeScript, but again, what code execution are referring to? The V8 JavaScript engine?

that's not the point I was making - gp was wondering why someone who didn't even know typescript compiled to javascript and ran atop a javascript engine would care that it had gotten 10x faster.
