If I'm sure of one thing, it is that typescript completely changed the way developers viewed javascript.

Hello, Deno does something about this no?
Part of this concern comes from the fact that I am working on a CLI to for deno and wanted to optimize working times but it takes a long time for the typescript compiler, deno includes the official compiler
Good to know I am learning js/Deno in the same time and the information helps
any questions, I have no problem helping you
Woah. That's a spicy meatball. #bigProject #goBigOrGoHome #rustLang
Kotlin and Clojure also run both in the backend and frontend. If you include wasm it's a bunch more.
F#, Purescript, Nim, Dart, Haxe are also languages that can be used for both frontend and backend since they can be compiled to Javascript.
How's the tooling. Last time I tried with Kotlin it was not that great. Clojurescript on the other hand is pretty amazing, keeping state while reloading, and doing the reloading fast. Only thing with Clojurescript is that error messages are nog always usefull.
Check out esbuild for fast ts bundles
Yep, esbuild is crazy fast and is being written by an extremely talented and experienced developer - it solves the compile speed problem for both TS and ES, so in the likely event that you're going to bundle, well... 🙂
See also Facebook's Rome project, which I think is going to compete in the same space.
esbuild is fast bundler but it does not typecheck
This is a very important point and it's the same for SWC. From what I've seen all it does is strip the types. You can quite happily "compile" what's actually invalid typescript:

So really this is not an alternative to tsc, you might as well write javascript. What would be really cool is if their was a true typescript compiler written in rust/c++/go. I've been searching for this, but I don't think it exists.
Do you know maybe, was there any movement in the meantime?
Was searching for the same thing, and could not find anything.
Hi there I’m interested in this project, where is the GitHub repo?
here is the project repo github.com/swc-project/swc
Really cool
