Thanks for the clarification. For those of us who don't use TypeScript day to day, I feel that it is ambigious. Without clicking the link, you wouldn't know if it's about a compiler or a runtime. What if they announced a bun competitor?

Those are javascript runtimes, not TypeScript runtimes. The point stands.

If you don't know enough about TypeScript to understand that TypeScript is not a runtime, I'm not sure why you would care about TypeScript being faster (in either case).

I thought the title was announcing someone created a Typescript runtime. It is misleading.

Preact was "a faster React", for example.

if typescript code execution got that much faster it might be a reason for someone to look into the language even if they knew nothing about it.

From the title, my initial assumption was someone wrote a compiler & runtime for typescript that doesn't target javascript, which was very exciting. And I do work with typescript.

I mean I think generally you’d want to click the link and read the article before commenting

It has become a sport here to criticize titles for not explaining any random thing the commenter doesn't know. Generally these things are either in the article or they are very easily findable with a single web search.
