why did not MS write a pure C# typescript compiler?
the js one is so slow it's barely usable. It should be priority 1! write something in C# or even C++,that should'nt be that hard,or is it?
- WorldWideWayne 13y agoI'm thinking that they probably didn't want to scare away web devs that don't like .NET. I believe that their compiler also runs under Node.JS, which is easily a much lighter cross-platform solution than requiring Mono (which would be needed for a C# compiler).
- _random_ 13y agoMarketing and politics.
- AsmMAn 13y agoIt may change now Microsoft and Mono are working in .NET platform together.
- MichaelGG 13y agoTypeScript's written in TS/JS? Yikes. Certainly better off writing it in a better language and then crosscompiling to JS for the people that want to do "npm install typescript".
