    Yoooo, a 10x faster vscode would be sick!

      Oh, oh! That also means that that “Doom in Typescript types” will run faster as well!

        Well… Assuming that it’s not using bits of typescript that will be deprecated in TS 6 and removed in TS 7 (the native go implementation)

      For the sake of clarity, we’ll refer to them simply as TypeScript 6 (JS) and TypeScript 7 (native)…

      We’re currently at TS 5.7, so we’re still off for quite a bit until TS7 hits?
