Does TSGo Generate Go Code After Compilation?

[shahriarhacks]

Hello, I’m exploring TSGo and wondering whether the compiled output includes any Go code. As I understand, TSGo is implemented in Go, but does it generate Go code after compiling TypeScript, or does it only transpile to JavaScript like the traditional TypeScript compiler?

If it doesn’t generate Go code now, is there any plan to support that in the future?

Thanks in advance!

No, TS still emits JS. This is not a tool for producing native code of any flavor, it's just a change in the implementation language TS itself uses.

Maybe you should pin a declaration for this, it's the third time I've seen such misunderstanding

Thank you for the clarification! I understand that TSGo still emits JavaScript and doesn’t produce native Go code. However, wouldn’t it be beneficial to have an option to compile TypeScript directly to Go?

Go is known for its performance and fast execution, which is why TSGo itself is being implemented in Go. Many of us use TypeScript for server-side development, and having a Go output option could significantly enhance performance and efficiency. This could allow us to leverage Go’s concurrency model while still writing TypeScript, making our applications faster and more scalable.

Is there any possibility of considering this in the future? I believe it could be a game-changer for the TypeScript ecosystem.

Looking forward to your thoughts!

Why I asking this... I also clarify it...

If it were possible it'd be nice; I'm not sure that it is. Regardless, it's outside the scope of this project

Maybe perfect planning can bring anything and Dev team also need to discuss about this things. If It possible then that will really amazing and Typescript will break down all record
