Should be

"Future version of TypeScript compiler is being rewritten..."

and Typescript will not get any faster at all.

@HaraldKi@nrw.social There are is already a Rust based implementation of TypeScript (in Deno https://github.com/denoland/deno etc.), so it is likely that Go based implementations of TypeScript will also increase the speed of the language.

While it might not directly affect people running compiled code in web browsers, it will increase the speed of code running on servers.
