Doesn’t the type checker have to run in JavaScript to fit into VS code? A C# implementation would be much faster, no need to go native with C++/Rust (not sure speed in Go would really compete).

The big issue is dealing with a structural highly expressive type system, the language of implementation is only going to be a constant slow down (but that constant can be large).
