I looked at using ESbuild and I use Typescript. It was all looking good until reading the docs and it said ESbuild doesn't typecheck Typescript and to rely on your IDE to flag errors.

Is that correct and how is that working for you practically if it is? The whole point for Typescript for me is to have a compiler typecheck my code and block errors at compile time. ESbuild not typechecking seemed like a major contradiction to using Typescript so I set up a Webpack build using the standard ts compiler.

I've been out the loop of client side stuff a couple of years so to start was bit of a rabbit hole. Grunt/Gulp had gone and now Webpack seems common with a growing fanbase for ESbuild because of it's speed.
