I didn’t care. Because to me the performance was a cost I was more than willing to pay for giving me sanity in JS land. Knowing you were passing the right types, right number of arguments, etc. Just the quality of documentation you got from having types at all above the nothing we had before was huge.
I love they’ve made it a ton faster. But I never thought about giving it up due to compiler performance.

Exactly, no sound people should consider using another language because the CI takes 4 minutes to run instead of 12 seconds.
Yet on HN people complain about rust being “unusable because the compiler is too slow” in every other thread…
