I mean I get what Daniel's saying, but I kinda doubt there wouldn't be _some_ speedup. And hey, what if type checking for small programs went from half a second

I mean I get what Daniel's saying, but I kinda doubt there wouldn't be _some_ speedup. And hey, what if type checking for small programs went from half a second to 100 ms? That would be nice!

That's a five times speedup. I wouldn't expect a typical 'compiled' language to run five times faster than JavaScript on the kind of code you find in a compiler.

  You are excluding startup time. Loading the interpreter/runtime and initial JIT pass is slow. For many codebases, the compilation time is actually dominated by the time it takes the interpreter to get going.
