Was does a TS runtime means anyway? Doesn't checking types at run time rather than at compile time a pure loss?

- barry27 6y agoright. "typescript runtime" is nonsense.
- threatofrain 6y agoNo, because TS hints should also be able to translate to runtime savings. I do find the messaging to be confusing, because what would you think I meant if I talked about the runtime of Elixir or Scala? This is the marketing line on the front page of the Deno project: > A secure runtime for JavaScript and TypeScript. They are using the same term "runtime" to describe JS as well as TS. All replies here by Deno team members use the language "Typescript support" but nobody here is saying TypeScript runtime.
