Read the full description
Six TypeScript tools written from scratch in Rust. On excalidraw, ts-r-dev updates the page 8.6 ms after a save (Vite 8: 35 ms) using less than half the memory. Each tool reads your existing config, so you can swap in one at a time.

No Rebuilding TypeScript tooling in Rust requires deep knowledge of compilers, parsers, type checking, and incremental build systems. Matching the performance claims and config compatibility takes years of specialist work that vibe coding can't shortcut.
What it would actually take: Start with a Rust workspace containing a parser, AST, module resolver, and incremental dependency graph, then add a transform/emit pipeline and file watcher. Config compatibility with tsconfig and bundler plugins is a large surface area. Building it credibly requires engineers experienced in compiler and language-tooling internals, plus extensive conformance testing against the TypeScript test suite.
