Congrats on launch. The code is beautiful, and the test suite is quite solid.

Over the past year, I've been working on porting the v7 tsgo compiler back into TypeScript - https://github.com/tsoniclang/tsts

It's fully functional now, but 2x slower than the original tsc and 10x slower than tsgo. But hopefully in a month or so, we'll get to C# and Rust targets and it should be able to compile itself to become nearly as fast as tsgo.

That tsts project looks very interesting. I suppose there are various practical reasons for doing this. For me I'm just glad to see an easy way to run the newest TypeScript compiler (and I guess type checker?) in the browser. There's an unofficial Wasm build of tsgo/ts7, if I recall was about 12Mb. Another advantage of tsts I imagine is the ease of diving into the compiler internals as it's running (interpreted) instead of a binary distribution, another language (though I like Go), or having to recompile it on every change. Good luck with the project, I'll be keeping an eye on its progress with interest.

Thanks. The idea is that many projects (including tsts itself) can be run unmodified on a JS runtime, or as a native binary via NativeAOT/C# or Rust.
