alt Hacker NewsIdk. Apart from the fact that benchmarks are generally of questionable value, what's the point? Is the TS compiler unbearably slow?

The success of "modern" CLI tools written in Rust (uv, oxlint, turbopack) show there's a clear demand for faster tools in general.
Also, faster feedback loop is crucial for AIs, so I guess this makes sense.

It's not. Even the JS compiler is still fast enough for many projects given the single core improvements in hardware (eg Apple Silicon).

Faster feedback loops almost always deliver improvements elsewhere.
