> such as this project which is converting tsgo to Rust

If you'd like to follow, here's my attempt at converting tsgo to typescript (called tsts [1]). Admittedly there's AI involved, but it's a very mechanical job. Going from golang to ts is not a very difficult problem, the other way around would have been way harder. The plan is to then compile tsts to binary via tsonic.

Interesting, seems to be a very roundabout way of doing it. Have you tried compiling the current TypeScript implementation which is still in TypeScript, as tsgo is for TS 7? If so, what were the results?

		Yep. Too dynamic.

Uhm... You're trying to port Typescript's Typescript-to-Go port back to Typescript? Am I missing something?

		Yes. :) With the goal of compiling it to native code. It's mostly a mechanical port. Hoping to do a Show HN maybe in a month.
