What is the best complier besides tsc? I need one that is fast and uses type-checking.

i don’t really know anything besides tsc from typescript. how slow does it take for your code to finish compiling?

frankly i’m not sure if there even is anything besides tsc

Mainly I'm using swc which is really fast but it doesn't have type checking.

ooh yes i’ve heard about swc. unfortunately i really don’t know of any. maybe someone else knows 🤷‍♂️

It's ok, thanks for trying to help tho!

You can try tsup which uses esbuild internally

typechecking isn't provided though

id recommend using tsc in production and tsup in dev

Just idk why you dont want to use tsc

soft topaz May 20, 2023, 2:27 PM

it can be slow at times, especially for successive transpilations

yeah nothing else does type checking other than tsc really

that is prod-ready at least
