also go has better error messages

makes sense

go is lower level

so it’s hard to optimize

typescript compiler is written in ts

*their* hands were tied

but why not just improve the ts compiler

cool

yep

so the output is still js

ah

go is just for the compiler

ecosystem is still ts

wait what about the ecosystem

typescript profiler is a pain

also go is easier to profile

typescript compiler startup is slow

go startup time is fast

probably not

but will it be slower for small projects

so they parallelized it

typescript compiler is single-threaded

also go has goroutines

to the team

go is more familiar

swc is rust-based

but why not just use swc

sounds good

and better tooling

just faster compiles
