The JavaScript community is embracing fast compilers like esbuild, written in Go, to speed up TypeScript compilation and bundling.
Go-based TypeScript compilers like esbuild are significantly faster than traditional compilers such as tsc or Babel, enabling instant rebuilds.
Despite their speed, tools like esbuild lack full type-checking support, advanced TypeScript features, and some ecosystem compatibility.
Developers praise the speed of Go-powered TypeScript compilers but recommend using them alongside tsc or tsserver for full type safety and compatibility.
