Build Types

# Run tsc to output declaration files to `build/types-tsc`
npm run types:tsc

# Run tsgo to output declaration files to `build/types-tsgo`
npm run types:tsgo

I am comparing the folders in WinMerge.

Performance

tsgo is roughly ~5X faster than tsc 🚀

Note

Run each command after npm run clean

tsc

npm run types -- --diagnostics     

> excalibur@0.31.0 types
> tsc --project src/engine/tsconfig.json --declaration --incremental true --tsBuildInfoFile build/dist/.tsbuildinfo --emitDeclarationOnly --diagnostics

Issues

It looks like tsgo is outputting several differences compared to tsc but these might be intentional.

Current State of tsgo

Missing JSDoc comments

Modified static readonly declarations

Added generic type defaults

Inconsistent quotes on union types

Interesting that the build is stuck? It hasn't even been triggered.
