Dumb question: Do you mean "Fast" as in speed of execution, or "Fast" as in compile times? (Or maybe you mean both? I haven't used Rust.)

Might be worth clarifying because I immediately got excited about a faster TypeScript compiler!

Yeah I meant speed of execution. Sorry for the letdown! But https://github.com/swc-project/swc is a very fast Typescript compiler written in Rust :)
