- nitsky 6y agoThis is dishonest. In esbuild's benchmarks, webpack, rollup, and parcel do not do typechecking either.
- endergen 6y agoI like the idea of having type checking moved out of the watch path, or at least be in a second window watching, so building is faster. But you get your type checking errors too. You also have the editor finding issues for you, which is where I want that caught.
- kylecordes 6y agoYes this seems like an excellent performance boost to development. Parallelize type checking and compilation. We all have these many-core machines now, and so many tools that single thread the world unnecessarily.
- pierreyoda 6y agoYou may want to check out this webpack plugin [1], though I'm not sure how much it could get you there. [1] https://github.com/TypeStrong/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin#readme https://github.com/TypeStrong/fork-ts-checker-webpack-plugin...
- vijaybritto 6y agoNope. This is wrong. It clearly mentions that its only a Javascript and CSS bundler and nothing much. It doesnt try to solve every problem in the JS world. None of the other bundlers do type checking by themselves. They are always through plugins.
