Is GC useful for a static type checker? Or did they make a new runtime?

The point is that having a GC will affect your data structure and algorithm design, so it’s easier to automatically transform JS or TS to Go than to rust because you’re mostly reducing things down to one problem (translation) rather than multiple intertwined problems.

tyscript compiler is a cli tool. and is run for short periods of time. GC collection and memory leaks should be least of issue to look for
