Flow failed because Microsoft enabled TypeScript by default in VS Code. It had nothing to do with OCaml in my opinion.

However, TypeScript is now suffering from long compile-times because it targets JS. If it was implemented in a language with more control over threading etc. I think it could be faster.

I think there were attempts to rewrite a subset of TS in another language. I don't mean assemblyscript, no.

Also, if I could use TS on the backend without node (say, with the lib/runtime of another language), that would be amazing.

Deno exists, I guess
