Welcome to Syntax. We got a really exciting one for you today. A major announcement that I never

thought would necessarily drop this year or maybe even ever. I jumped on a call last week with

Daniel and he says, hey, can't tell anyone, but this is what we're working on. And I haven't been

more excited in many years. So I'm super stoked.

Today we have Anders Heilsberg on.

He is the creator of TypeScript, lead architect of TypeScript amongst many other things.

You can say as on Wikipedia.

You can look it up.

And Daniel Rosenwasser, who is the principal product manager of TypeScript. So welcome so much.

We'll get right to the point. What's this big announcement?

Who you want to let the cat out of the bag? Well, the big announcement is that we are porting

the TypeScript compiler and toolset to native code.

And we are realizing about a 10x performance improvement from that effort.

That is the really short message.

So we're 10xing the speed of the Typecript compiler and tool set.

Man, that's awesome.

And that, to be clear, that is both parsing and type checking of codebases?

This is lock, stock, and barrel.

The whole, yes, scanning, parsing, binding, checking, emitting,

the whole pipeline will be native code.

Yes.

Wow.
