How the TypeScript Compiler Compiles - understanding the compiler internal

[@mattetis]

This should be used as the golden example of how to give a good presentation, the large font, perfect amount of stuff on each slide, the enormous titles for each section, love it, exactly what I wanted!

[@johnreilly6886]

This is an awesome talk! I really like the multicolour background for flow nodes illustrating the different type possibilities depending on what narrowing has taken place. It's so .... clear! Makes me want to write a VS Code plugin that does exactly that!

[@ortatherox]

Not sure if I mentioned it in the talk, but there is a playground plugin showing flow nodes - though not doesn't use color like that - but it would be a good idea.

Such an underrated channel. I loved this video, thank you!

[@hugodsa89]

Thank you William for introducing me to Ortha. Typescript videos ❤️❤️

[@leonidpyrlya9795]

This is a great overview of what is under the hood of TS! 💙 loved it 🙌🏻

[@javiasilis]

Yooooo. This was exactly the video that I was looking for. Thank you very muuuuch

[@valeriofunk5000]

TS is beatiful 🤩 i had problems understanding the flow of the type checking of the compiler. you made it so clear thank you so much that was an awesome talk

[@timocov]

Thanks Orta! Quite interesting introduction to the compiler internals.

[@NathanHedglin]

Great Video. It is interesting to see under the hood of a transpiler.

[@bnny2175]

Very informative overview. Thank you!

This is fantastic

[@user-florin]

This is gold! Thank you!

Great talk, I learned a lot! What's the best way to learn about the "helicoptering into a random position" and gaining context from the surrounding file type work that Anders mentions in the referenced talk? It sounds like this covers the usage of tsc as a CLI tool, but I'm eager to learn a little more about how its used as a library too!

Crazy good video. So when the checker starts inferring types from parsing the tree, is it possible to miss diagnostics from the Binder since that process is already complete? Seems like it could be an issue whenever you mutate the syntax tree?

[@Dev_Owon]

This is awesome, thank you so much

[@emdadgar_official]

if you say TS written in TS‌ finally , maybe write an operating system in typescript ?

[@KirkWaiblinger]

Is there a useful public api doc for the compiler api anywhere? I am trying to understand some of the details of typescript eslint but i can't find info on the compiler api calls

[@lantianyou]

Really helpful talk! Learned a lot. Would you mind sharing the keynote in de description below? 🙏🙏

[@ortatherox]

Added to the description, thanks

[@jsjoeio]

I'm really enjoying this so far, but 3mins in I have to ask, how did you create such a beautiful presentation? Is this Keynote?

[@ortatherox]

Yep, all my best stuff is keynote - I try to learn one new keynote concept each talk I give

[@rohanmalik895]

The symbol plugin broke btw

[@bart9522]

How do template literal types work?

[@muzam1l]

This is porno!

When asking ChatGPT to correct my comment on a youtube video and he goes: «"I hit pause at 8:30, just before you said it was in the Plugin tab. So, I was on the hunt for that Scanner thing and the AST. And I was like, " *bro should have said it's in the plugin section.* " Also, I was thinkin' " *damn, who is this Orta?* " (cause that name was all over the Plugin list). He seems like an amazing < _equivalent word for Rustaceans but for the Python equivalent of Pythonista but in the TypeScript context_ >. Then I was like, " *I gotta check out who this Orta dude is* " after watchin' that video. And let's be real, I might have even watched the video just to find out. Haha. Oh and by the way, you know what's better than finding Orta's code in the plugin section? Getting a maple bar from Top Pot doughnuts on a rainy day in Seattle."»...
