A little while ago I asked (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33051021 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33051021):
I’m curious, how many people are using TSC only for type-checking, and a different system (eg esbuild or ts-node) to actually compile/bundle/execute their code?
Looks like my suspicion was correct; not even tsc uses tsc!
- presentation 4y agoProbably the majority since popular frameworks like NextJS do it with SWC now.
- WorldMaker 4y agoThe default configurations for Create-React-App and others use babel for type stripping today. This seems to me like a great "win" for Typescript that so many tools just natively handle TS type stripping and that so much Typescript today only needs type stripping and doesn't need other parts of TS emit processes (or tslib).
