Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

TypeScript Without Transpilation
I thought this was going to be a project like ts-node [1]

Deploy a static site to AWS S3 and CloudFront using AWS CDK
The command specified in the app option uses ts-node by default, which is an execution engine for Node.js that allows you to run TypeScript code directly. The --prefer-ts-exts flag prevents ts-node from prioritizing precompiled .js files and will always import the TypeScript source code instead, if it is available. This is useful if you are also using tsc (the TypeScript compiler) alongside the app option. The bin/cdk.ts file is the entry point for our CDK app, which defines the main function that will be executed when the app is run.

Couple super basic Typescript questions from a newbie: how to compile and how to start learning
If you want to write apps that run on Node.js I would suggest using Google’s TypeScript style guide. You can start using it by simply running npx gts init. I’d suggest that you start with this and run your apps using ts-node/ts-node-dev because it does not require an extra build step.

An Introduction to Deno: Is It Better Than Node.js?
It does support ESM, with a --loader[1], but even with its SWC option it’s still significantly slower than the esbuild loader I’m working on. Unfortunately, esbuild isn’t totally compatible with tsc, so it’s not a drop-in replacement without plugins.

How to Set Up a Node.js Project with TypeScript
The process of compiling TypeScript source files into JavaScript code before executing them with Node.js can get a little tedious after a while, especially during development. You can eliminate the intermediate steps before running the program through the ts-node CLI to execute .ts files directly. Go ahead and install the ts-node package using the command below:

How to use execa@6 with NestJs?

Storybook 8 Beta
First, we switched the default compiler for new projects from Babel to SWC (Speedy Web Compiler). SWC is dramatically faster than Babel and requires zero configuration. We’ll continue to support Babel in any project currently using it.

Implementing auth flow as fast as possible using NestJS
As the reference explains “**SWC** (Speedy Web Compiler) is an extensible Rust-based platform that can be used for both compilation and bundling. Using SWC with Nest CLI is a great and simple way to significantly speed up your development process.”

Ruby Outperforms C: Breaking the Catch-22
This is specifically about breaking the myth that performing expensive self-contained operations (e.g, parsing GraphQL) in a native extension (C, Rust, etc.) is always faster than the interpreted language.
The JS ecosystem has the same problem, people think rewriting everything in Rust will be a magic fix. In practice, there's always the problem highlighted in the post (transitioning is expensive, causes optimization bailouts), as well as the cost of actually getting the results back into Node-land. This is why SWC abandoned the JS API for writing plugins - constantly bouncing back and forth while traversing AST nodes was even slower than Babel (e.g https://github.com/swc-project/swc/issues/1392#issuecomment-...)

Show HN: Ezno, a TypeScript checker written in Rust, is now open source
Very cool! I'm curious, is this intended for dev tooling?
For example, I could see this (or something similar) being useful as the engine for a typescript language server that would be faster than the standard one
But if it's not aimed at 1:1 with tsc, would it be intended more for something like swc[1]?
Or what would you expect people to use this for, besides just being a cool project to learn from?

TypeScript team released an explorer for performance tuning
This is... good news, but I still cannot fathom using the default Typescript compiler for regular development. Seriously, leave the type-checking to your IDE and CICD chain, and switch to using tsx (https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsx) or swc (https://swc.rs/) and you will _immediately_ notice the difference in speed and productivity.
What are some alternatives?
swc-node - Faster ts-node without typecheck
esbuild - An extremely fast bundler for the web
vite - Next generation frontend tooling. It's fast!
esbuild-runner - ⚡️ Super-fast on-the-fly transpilation of modern JS, TypeScript and JSX using esbuild
ts-loader - TypeScript loader for webpack
sucrase - Super-fast alternative to Babel for when you can target modern JS runtimes
tsup - The simplest and fastest way to bundle your TypeScript libraries.
vike - 🔨 Like Next.js / Nuxt but as do-one-thing-do-it-well Vite plugin.
vitest - Next generation testing framework powered by Vite.
TypeScript-Call-Graph - CLI to generate an interactive graph of functions and calls from your TypeScript files
