Thanks for the clarification. For those of us who don't use TypeScript day to day, I feel that it is ambigious. Without clicking the link, you wouldn't know if it's about a compiler or a runtime. What if they announced a bun competitor? https://betterstack.com/community/guides/scaling-nodejs/nodejs-vs-deno-vs-bun/ https://betterstack.com/community/guides/scaling-nodejs/node....

  It has become a sport here to criticize titles for not explaining any random thing the commenter doesn't know. Generally these things are either in the article or they are very easily findable with a single web search.

Those are javascript runtimes, not TypeScript runtimes. The point stands. If you don't know enough about TypeScript to understand that TypeScript is not a runtime, I'm not sure why you would care about TypeScript being faster (in either case).

  if typescript code execution got that much faster it might be a reason for someone to look into the language even if they knew nothing about it.

    There are plenty of other reasons to consider TypeScript, but again, what code execution are referring to? The V8 JavaScript engine?

      that's not the point I was making - gp was wondering why someone who didn't even know typescript compiled to javascript and ran atop a javascript engine would care that it had gotten 10x faster.

  I thought the title was announcing someone created a Typescript runtime. It is misleading. Preact was "a faster React", for example.

From the title, my initial assumption was someone wrote a compiler & runtime for typescript that doesn't target javascript, which was very exciting. And I do work with typescript.
