#2Very cool! I'm curious, is this intended for dev tooling?
For example, I could see this (or something similar) being useful as the engine for a typescript language server that would be faster than the standard one
But if it's not aimed at 1:1 with tsc, would it be intended more for something like swc[1]?
Or what would you expect people to use this for, besides just being a cool project to learn from?

The analogy (by swc's author) would be https://github.com/dudykr/stc

#4The issue has always been that people start these projects, see just how big/hard checking the whole of TypeScript is and don't finish it.
It would be awesome if you finished it :]

#5I don't know what it is about this name but I just can't not read it as "enzo".

#6This is extremely early per the disclaimer at the top, like too early to even run most toy programs.
In general I'm kind of skeptical of the approach these rewrite in rust/go projects are going. Maybe as wasm plugins for hot paths in existing tools, but it's not clear to me that the full rewrites are where we want to be long term as a community.

Naw. Projects like these are useful reninders that 25 years of mitigation easily save a few weeks of initial design.

#8Very cool! Congrats on the launch, even if it is very early.
Unsolicited feedback: I read the name an Enzo (n-zo) until I read the readme and realized it was Ezno (es-no).
Since in a previous post [0] you say you're unsure on the name, Enzo could be a good one if this is a common mistake.

I saw it as Enzo as well

Perfected developers don't need two weeks of initial design or any mitigation.
