Beating AI Express: Renowned developer Theo has open-sourced tsc-rs, an AI-powered port of Microsoft’s Go-written TypeScript 7 compiler to Rust. The project covers the compiler, type checker, and language server, with the goal of directly replacing the official tsc. Theo stated he did not read a single line of the generated code, and the project took approximately five months to complete. Initially, Theo used tools like Codex and multiple OpenAI models, generating over 1.3 million lines of Rust code, but compatibility remained stuck at around 84%. Calculated at API pricing, the token cost exceeded $400,000. Later, he switched to Claude Opus 5.5, which abandoned the previous code and re-ported from scratch. The model produced a working initial version in 10 hours and finished the main work within two weeks, with token costs totaling roughly $24,000 at API rates. Tests show tsc-rs has passed 181,711 tests ported from the Go version. When checked against 120 open-source projects, its results are nearly identical to Microsoft’s Go-based implementation, with only a small number of known behavioral differences. Performance tests on 60 open-source projects indicate the Rust version’s average type checking time is about half that of the Go version.
