There’s been plenty of attempts to implement TS in another language or whatnot. They all struggle with keeping up with the pace of change cause the team behind TS is quite large. There was an effort to do a fairly straight port into Rust which actually turned out quite well, but then the “why” question comes up - the reason would be to do better performance but improving performance requires changing the design which a transliteration approach can’t give you & the more of the design you change, the harder it is to keep up with incoming changes putting you back at square 1. I think Rust rewrites of TS compilers (as long as TS is seeing substantial changes which it has been) will be worse than PyPy which is basically a neat party trick without serious adoption.
