- syoleene 1y agoIt's my understanding that TS is the compiler as TS doesn't get executed as is. Am I wrong?
- tgv 1y agoI suppose the parent means that people will interpret it as the resulting code running 10x faster. Which is not a totally reasonable way of reading it.
- anonzzzies 1y agoThat is what I meant.
- tgv 1y agoAnd I added a not too many. I think it’s a reasonable interpretation.
- evilduck 1y agoWhat possible damage? People outing themselves as ignorant? I don't see the issue, it tells you which parrots to ignore.
- dimitropoulos 1y agoyou're faulting a headline for being precise and accurate. there is no sense in which TypeScript is a runtime. TypeScript is literally a complier (targeting JavaScript, which has runtimes) and nothing more and has always been as such.
