- tristan957 4y agoIt would be pretty hard for a second implementation of TypeScript to gain any share of the market since Microsoft refuses to update the TypeScript specification. They point to tsc and say that is the specification. It is completely unprofessional in my opinion.
- simplotek 4y ago> (...) such as Typescript It seems you're oblivious to the fact that projects such as swc[1] exist, and have been adopted by projects such as deno. [1] https://swc.rs/ https://swc.rs/ > Elixir etc I'm not familiar with Elixir nor am I in a googling mood. Nevertheless that was an awfully short list. Why is that?

- fathyb 4y agoswc only does transpilation, it does not support TypeScript's type-checking which is its main feature.
