Nice! According to the video it’s about 3½x faster by using Go and the rest from multi threading.
I don’t think I could ever go back to writing Go code after Rust, in spite of the way faster compile time, GC, not having to deal with the borrow checker, easier cross-compilation, bigger standard library, etc.
Writing the code is just too tedious.
Codebase Size (LOC) Current Native Speedup VS Code 1,505,000 77.8s 7.5s 10.4x Yoooo, a 10x faster vscode would be sick!
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?
YUP, probably a year or two
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)
