How is ts faster?
It's not even part of js

The JavaScript code is compiled to native and is heavily optimized, as opposed to being interpreted.

Compiled to native what?
Typescript is only used at development time it won't do shit in the browser for you.
Where did u see any performance improvements? TS doesn't do that

TS transpiles to JS, and then when that JS is executed in Deno, Node.js, a Blink browser like Chrome, etc., it gets just in time compiled to native machine code instead of getting interpreted. Hope that helps.
