I'm looking forward to this. But it does amaze me how Microsoft with all it's power takes years to complete the port to a different language and bun does it in 7 days. Crazy times
- atonse 4mo agoThat made me wonder, since bun natively supports typescript, is it already using some kind of rust implementation of typescript?
- 0x6c6f6c 4mo agoBun does zero work in relation to TypeScript's type system. Since it's a strict superset, it is "simply" stripping types to execute the resulting JavaScript. That is effectively what it boils down to. TypeScript is the most complex type system in existence. I am unsurprised it is difficult to port, but I am still a bit surprised by the length of the project thus far.
- jakubmazanec 4mo agoProbably because TypeScript is too important to leave it purely to AI. The gall to question Anders Hejlsberg :D
