ts-blank-space: TypeScript to JavaScript

ts-blank-space

ts-blank-space is a fast type-stripping compiler that converts TypeScript to JavaScript. It supports a modern subset of TypeScript by erasing the types and replacing them with whitespace. That's it. It is not a type checker and does not perform any other code transformations.

The underlying technique can improve build performance and simplify development. The implementation is pure TypeScript. It is simple enough to read and understand in a few minutes because it is only 700 lines of code and reuses the original TypeScript parser.
