> TypeScript is probably a more appropriate choice for most situations – still a rich, powerful type system, great performance, and much faster compilation times Compared to Rust's normal debug builds Typescript does not have any noteworthy compilation speed advantage in my experience. In fact I find incremental Rust builds very similar if not faster in some cases (of course there are extreme exceptions both ways; I've used a library that added 40 seconds to every Rust build, but also frameworks that didn't make a noticeable difference after the first build). Meanwhile the quality of TypeScript error messages is much worse. Also sometimes debugging gets confusing because TypeScript has a couple blind spots and in the end it still turns into JS with all its quirks. I find Rust's type checker significantly more precise and comprehensive. On the other hand TypeScript doesn't (need to) care about things like pointer ownership, so often there's much less to worry about.
