On modifying tsc to generate Go code and transpile the codebase

[haxiomic]

Love the project

It sounds from the port vs rewrite discussion you're taking the transpile approach (awesome!)

Some questions:

• Is complete source-to-source transpilation the goal? What holds this back?
• If this becomes possible why not keep the source of truth in always in TypeScript?
• Would the Go generating code be exposed to the community? (presumably with a new level of strictness required). This would open a pathway for thousands of other typescript projects to generate fast native binaries

Has this direction already been ruled out?

The port is not a full "transpile approach" from TS to Go; we used a code generator to generate "syntactically valid" code, but so much of the codebase required data structure changes, moving things around, that it may not be feasible to keep the source of truth in TypeScript. Most everything in this repo was hand-written (or at least, hand-accepted completions; something like Copilot when given context does sort of figure it out).
