Do you have examples of slower code generated by typescript? TS is a superset of JS so it changing anything that has a large performance impact seems odd, but maybe I’m missing something here. The types aren’t even available at runtime, what’s the biggest slow down you’ve seen?

Most likely polyfills because he's targeting some old ES version.

This claims that TypeScript is an order of magnitude slower than JavaScript, which is obvious nonsense if you know how TypeScript works, unless they counted transpiling in execution time.
