I haven't used Typescript yet, but I'm very keen on it. How fast is the compiler currently for you? (eg. seconds or minutes?, and how big is your codebase? (eg.

  On a 7kloc codebase it was around 3 seconds before the new compiler, seems to be about 1 second after.

    I haven't tried the new compiler yet, but note that a lot of the compiler's slowdown comes from parsing lib.d.ts each time it's invoked. So the time taken for compiling X lines of code doesn't scale in a linear fashion - a helloworld will probably take a long time for you to compile too, but remove the dependency on lib.d.ts and the same helloworld will compile very much faster.

  I have a Typescript project with over 200k loc and over 200 ts files. The current compiler takes a while to build the whole project, but still under 10 seconds. However, you can also set it up to compile when you save a single ts file, which is much faster. So in practice its not any slower than what I was doing with Javascript, which was hit ctrl-S to save my changes then quickly hit refresh in Chrome to test and debug.
