The README had benchmark numbers for T3 Code only, and none against tsc 6.

This adds a "Benchmark: real-world apps" section. It times a full check of VS Code, Sentry, Playwright, Excalidraw, TypeORM and the tRPC server with tsc 6, tsc 7, tsc-rs and bun check on one Mac (M4 Pro), with hyperfine medians of 5 runs.

  • Over tsc 6, the geometric mean speedups are 7.1× (tsc 7), 11.4× (tsc-rs) and 20.9× (bun check). Over tsc 7, tsc-rs is 1.61× faster and bun check is 2.95× faster.
  • The section lists where error output differs. The tsc-rs errors on VS Code and Sentry match typescript@next (7.1.0-dev) line for line. They are newer TS 7.1 checks, not port bugs.
  • scripts/bench-apps has the setup, run and summary scripts, with the app commits and the config changes.

Made by Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, running in T3 Code.

Note

Add real-world app benchmark scripts comparing tsc 6, tsc 7, tsc-rs, and Bun

Adds an end-to-end benchmark suite that checks six pinned real-world applications with TypeScript 6, TypeScript 7, tsc-rs, and Bun. setup.sh installs the compilers, fetches each repository at a pinned commit, installs dependencies, and applies per-app config changes; run.sh runs each tool with hyperfine and records diagnostics; summary.py prints median timings, speedups over tsc 6, and geometric means relative to tsc 7. Results are documented in a README benchmark section covering timing, error differences, hardware, and methodology.

  • line 9: A nonexistent/unreadable <work-dir> is not rejected. Since this script deliberately does not enable set -e, a failed cd "$1" leaves work empty and execution continues; mkdir -p "$work/results" then targets /results, and later operations use /repos/... instead of the requested work directory. Guard the cd/pwd assignment and exit on failure before shifting arguments. [ Out of scope (post-validation triage) ]
scripts/bench-apps/summary.py — 0 comments posted, 1 evaluated, 1 filtered
  • line 15: summary.py cannot read the JSON produced by this invocation. run.sh assigns -n tsc6 etc., but Hyperfine serializes the actual command in result.command and the custom label separately in result.name (see Hyperfine's BenchmarkResult JSON serialization). Thus med is keyed by strings such as node --max-old-space-size=..., not tsc6; the first med[t] on this line raises KeyError: 'tsc6' for every normal result file. Key the map by name (or retain the command-to-name mapping) so the advertised summary step completes. [ Out of scope (triage) ]

Walkthrough

The changes add scripts to prepare six open-source projects and benchmark full type checks with tsc 6, tsc 7, tsc-rs, and bun check. They record diagnostics and timings, summarize results, and document benchmark conditions and project-specific changes.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0134d

A failed setup may need manual cleanup before retrying, and a partial benchmark may be mistaken for the six-app result. These bounded issues warrant owner awareness or follow-up but do not block merging.

🟡 Medium bench-apps/setup.sh:15

This downloads the latest canary, so rerunning setup can benchmark a Bun checker other than the README’s bd599f5af build and produce different errors or timings while appearing to reproduce the benchmark. Printing bun --revision does not stop the run; pin the download to the recorded revision or fail when the revision does not match.

🟡 Medium bench-apps/run.sh:20

A work directory containing spaces makes each compiler command fail, so the script records failures instead of benchmark timings. The command strings interpolate $work without shell quoting, and line 35 splits the same strings during execution; quote the path when building the commands and evaluate those quoted strings.

🟡 Medium bench-apps/run.sh:32

When an app checkout is missing, the script continues in the previous working directory and records those benchmark results under the missing app's name. The cd failure is unchecked, so exit immediately when it fails.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Retry incomplete checkouts.

If git fetch fails after git init, repos/$1 still exists. The next setup run skips checkout and attempts to install an incomplete repository. Check the pinned commit before skipping checkout, or remove an incomplete repository when checkout fails.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Identify partial benchmark results.

If run.sh checks only selected apps, this branch silently omits the other apps. The geometric means then describe a subset rather than the six-app benchmark, without saying so. Reject incomplete results for the README summary, or print the included app set with each aggregate.
